here are two Pre-production Dumas hawk Hydroplanes that the designer Gary Prusses gave us (people who knew him and ran at Lake Ida) alongside him, to test build to check the kits out for laser cutting flaws, fit, and general assembly before Dumas mass produced the kits.
The yellow one we narrowed, runs a K&B 3.5cc with throttle exhaust.
The red boat is a Dumas 3.5cc kit with K&B 7.5cc throttle exhaust.
Both ran FHS Oils 40% and both have JR Alpina PCM radios and Speedmaster hardware.
The bottom boat was a Aeromarine Lightened version predator w/ K&B 3.5cc outboard with Magic Muffler, only 2 lightened versions were ever made. Basically, only one layer of fiberglass and less gel coat.
These boats have been raced for years and are still in ready to race condition.
Pics are of them in the 90's and today.
