    Wooster Hellion?

    Ever heard of one of these things? Supposedly its some tiny one man boat made by Rubbermade back in the 1970's. Accepts a 10hp(ish) outboard motor. I cant find shit for information on them. Just wondering if some of the local geezers had any alzheimer flashbacks about riding in one of these piles.

    For your viewing pleasure:

      That would kick ass with a 25HP motor.

                When I saw the picture, I immediately thought it would be a cool jet sprint boat.

                  I have seen them laying in yards when I lived in MI and did see 1 on the water when I was a kid but my mom would not let me ride in it. They look like a blast I bet for the same weight as an older 10hp you could put a 25hp evinrude or Yamaha(is 50lbs lighter than the evinrude e-tech) 2 stroker on the back now.

                  Look like lots of fun, kinda like an F1 boat for the average guy, with out the supper cornering tunnel hull

                    Yeah, I was looking at one locally, im trying to figure out what size engine would be good. Not too much to break the hull, but something straight badass.

                      That would be cool, you have to get one, how much do they want for it?

                      So I guess a BMW B130 is out of the question?

                        $300 just for the hull. No trailer, no motor, no title.
