Any Tips on building a Seaflea?

Question

I wanna build a Seaflea Minimax hydro. boat and just wondering if anyone had any tips/helpful hints on how to make it, or any help with creating a steering/throttle system to a wheel/lever to control the boat. thanx

Answer 1

WOW you are digging up some old bones with that one...

I built one of those things in the 60's... what fun!

I could scoot around on the lake about 30 mph with a little 15 hp motor...

Don't know if you have plans already... (I am guessing you do however) but if not... I suggest you make an Internet visit to

> www.glen-L.com <

They not only have the plans, they have "kits" plans, patterns, etc, and one of the kits is for the steering wheel, cables, pullys, for both steering and throttle hardware connections. etc... (You might want to just buy your steering/throttle system from them.)

They also have a really good "boat builders" forum - where the builders discuss ideas and exchange tips and information.

Have a blast!
