Mini GT Race Boat For Sale Built 2005 -- Dillon Racing
This boat is SOLD, But the original Dillon Mini is now for sale. See it right HERE.
|
This is the boat I raced here in Minnesota in 2005. I built it to plans for "Tunnel Mite" from the Glen L catalog (check it out here) but with some modifications to accomodate a foot throttle. It got a bit beat up in some rough-weather racing last September, but I made the necessary repairs this spring, and it is ready to go again.
The 1985 Evinrude shown is a 30 hp that has been refitted with the carb (rebuilt) and intake from a 25 hp, making it a legal Mini GT motor. I also found a "new" hood for it. It is a good, strong-running motor.
The trailer I had for this boat is no longer available. It has been re-configured to fit under my new boat. I got the trailer from Harbor Freight. They go for about $300, arrive at your door in 3 boxes, and can be bolted together in an hour or two.

This is a complete, turnkey Mini GT boat and motor. Arrange to come out a take a look -- we'll back it into the lake you can take a test drive. Play your cards right and you might even be able to race it once before purchase.
If the buyer lives reasonably close by, I will be glad to help with testing and making adjustments and generally getting ready for racing.
This is a great class for kids and adults, and it looks like it's going to be a pretty big group for 2006. You know you don't want to miss any of it. First race, June 25th in Little Falls, MN.
Price: $1800.
