Old Race Boats will still flip you out!

                Our collection of Boats and Engines

TX444DK 44 cubic inch engine with 4 Carbs and many other modifications

            

September 2009 in Hillsdale Mich. we tested the TX444DK engine on a Ropp Hydro.  This engine developed by Doug Kay ran great right out of the box.  The boat, even though a 8 year old boat had never been in the water.  We had no idea how this combination would run or which prop to use or how to setup the whole rig.  Needless to say we were very happy with the outcome. Doug and Aeroliner Race Boats, LLC will continue to develope this unique combination.

Bellow is a link to a You Tube video of this test.

C Mod Engine on a hydro built for Harry Brinkman.  This is another of Doug's fine engines.  Alan's son took his first ever ride in a race boat in this rig at Pineville, LA in April 2010 and did rather well.  We will be working on improving this during the 2010 racing season.

                   

We have other racing equipment including Mercury outboard motors and racing boats that have been restored for demonstration purposes.  These may be offered for sale at some time in the future. 

                                              Unrestored 1957 Sid Craft

                                              

This 1957 Sid Craft A/B is nearly all original.  The only thing changed is the fabric cover and the red paint.  We bought this boat from Len Lupton who not long ago was building reproduction Sid Crafts.  This boat is originally from Long Island New York.  The boat had been in storage for nearly 40 years and is in suprisingly good condition.  The fuel tank is a rare Quincy Welding tank that originally was purchased with the Mark 20H Quincy modified engine and raced on this boat. 

                                                                               

This engine also bought from Len is a numbers matching Mark 20H that has been modified by Quincy Welding.  It has a Carter Model N carb., converted to Alky, stacks, reworked Spark advance, Quincy pistions etc.  The engine was an experimental engine that is thought to have been used by David Christner.

                                     These are our 30 H's, 55 H's and a 40 H going together.

                                  Converted Mark 20H nearly completed, just missing the magneto.

                                          

Numbers matching KG7H,  we have a KG7Q that we are leaving unrestored so there can be a comparision to show how the engines look before we do a restoration. We now have another a numbers matching KG7Q engine we are restoring.

                                                                     

                        Fuel tank for the unconverted Mark 20 H restored by Aeroliner Race Boats

       

Green engine is what a 1955 55H might have looked like, the white engine is one of two later 55H engines we have and the 30H is our second engine this one owned by Alan.

                         

                             A few of our completed engines, we have just added a few more engines.

                                                   

                                                 This KF9 was restored for Alan's collection.

                        

Mark 40H, this engine had it's ports altered so badly by a previous owner that we could not restore it to it's original condition.  The engine was resleaved to 44 cubic inches, had a Harry Brinkman port job, the cylinder heads were replaced with high compression heads, new larger carbs were added and some internal modificatons were made.  First time out it ran 82MPH using an untested prop and on a D hydro.

                          

This is a Quincy "A" Looper purchased by Alan that is now  restored  This engine was used by the Champion Spark Plug Company for testing their new spark designs.

                               

     This early 1960's Sid Craft is in great shape, it is one of six Sid's purchased from Len Lupton.

                       

This Sid Craft has a plywood cover for the front cockpit which would make it look simaliar to the mid 1960's style boats.  This boat is for sale, $1,850.00
