I also remember that the motor appeared to be mounted in a way that would allow for maybe some negative trim which I'm guessing accounted for the lack of bow rise. Seemed comparable to an inboard in that respect. I remember thinking that it would probably make a hell of a barefoot and/or slalom boat (for the skier at least). The boat looked to be traveling approximately 15-18mph or slower and even at that speed, the wake was miniscule. I've only seen one on the water and it was pulling a swivel skier in what was a practice run I guess. Seems like an old dyne would be a cool project I'm aware of the website, just wondering what you guys' experience with that brand had been. How does a large single engine rigged dyne compare to an inboard? How does a twin rig handle/compare to an inboard? BTW, not interested at all in the later hydrodyne inboards and only slightly interested in the i/o hydrodynes. What are the pros/cons of the outboard hydrodynes as ski boats? How do they handle/track/ride/ski. It seems, however, that the dynes were used at many of the midwest and upper midwestern shows.ĭo any of you show ski guys have experience with these boats? I'm surprised that the handling/power characteristics could compare to a 454 powered inboard, but apparently that is the case. At those shows, I remember that CCs and MCs were used exclusively except for the small outboard powered clown boats. I attended a number of ski shows as a kid.Sea World, Cypress Gardens, Bartlett's (Tennessee) and many other smaller shows. Specifically, I'm drawn to the retro/odd looking hydrodyne 18 of the 70s. Hey guys, in addition to my love for CCs, I'm also a closeted hydrodyne fan.
