Below is a link to Youtube with a video of the engine we devloped with Doug Kay and Harry Brinkman's notes.  The video was recorded at Hillsdale MI, in Sept 2009.  Rich Welsh is the driver of the Ropp hydro.  This was the first running of the engine that was built from a blown up engine.  The engine has many inovations such as finger ports, oil injection, four large carbs, reeds relocated from the crank shaft to just behind carbs, relocated magneto.  Just click on the link to see the video, turn up your sound, sit back and enjoy.

This is the engine and boat you will see in the video.  Doug Kay did a super job in developing this engine and rigging the Ropp hydro which was constructed for Harry Brinkman.  The first time the boat was run is in the video even though it was built in 2001/2002.

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

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.

This Sid Craft once raced by Gerry Waldman was purchased recently, it was built in the early 1960's

             Converted Mark 20H we have been told it was one of the first 25 units tested by Quincy Welding.

Numbers matching KG7 H,  we have a KG7 Q 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 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 a later 55H and the 30H is a 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 under going restoration.  This engine was used by the Champion Spark Plug Company for testing their new spark designs.

This is a mercury Mark 55H-1 that we just added to our collection.  In the backround is a Mark 30H-1 that is nearly completed.

                                           1964 Sid Craft BU Runabout

                          These pictures are taken around 1968 when Bud Hursh owned this boat.

     This 1964 Sid Craft is in great shape, it is one of six Sid's purchased from Len Lupton. It was owned by Bud Hursh who sold it to Harry Brinkman who sold it to Len.  See our Boats For Sale section for this boat.

This Sid Craft has a plywood cover for the front cockpit which would make it look simaliar to the mid 1960's style boats.
