Hi everyone,
I am looking for a pair of cheap Tiny Titan plans. I am only 16 so that's why I am not buying them from Glen-L. I just got into racing over the summer when I bought my first tiny Titan for $125. It was a great deal that I don't regret. The only problem with the boat is that the original owner built it with regular plywood and not marine plywood back in the 70's. The wood is starting to peal up just a little bit. I have started to strip the paint off of it and I plan to cover the topside of the boat with clear coat epoxy. I was running it with a 1974 Evinrude 9.9 hp motor and at full throttle the boat went at about 23.6 mph. I recarbed it to a 15 hp and something got in the carb after a while. But without anything trimmed out the boat went about 26 or 27. I want to get a Mercury KG7 but since I am refinishing my hydro I won't have the money for one.
Thanks for looking,
Dan

Thanks a bunch :). I just finished stripping the previous paint off the topside and have started to sand the topside as well. I'll try and post some pictures later.

This is the boat the day I ran it with the 9.9. I need to get the pictures off the camera of the current project :)
