That's wild !

Awesome build. One question. Is the business end coupled to a car rearend then out to a quick change then to the shafts? Taht is some major back yard engineering!

 

[Mattilacken]

Sweet build!

Gary, that is exactly what it is! Thanks to everyone for the comments. Never did anything like this before- just start with PT boat, throw in hot rod parts, some Duesenberg, shaken not stirred, and you get the Poodle Too.

Hilarious! Is that a rudder up FRONT? Don't make any sudden adjustments! Fun stuff, and well done.

This is an epic build project and a great result. 

Also, be sure to check out Paul's build thread to see all the details and work incorporated here!   TB

Rusty, a lot of speed boats from the 20's and 30's had metal or metal sheathed prows, which I have replicated here. A couple of reference pix:

I see it now! Wicked boats, as is your model! Thanks for the clarification.

Tim, thanks much for the encouragement- now I'm working on the trailer.
