- 19 1/2 Foot "WILDERCRAFT - Experimental Drag Boat " NJBA 1987
Ski Jet record holder held by my good friend Don Hettish of La Verne,
California. Don Hettish built this rare tunnel ram, his craftsmanship and
attention to detail is amazing. I bought this boat from Don when he built
the Danger Zone II. My family and I have converted it somewhat to allow us
to use it for cruising the Colorado River. 500 hp is now mounted on the four
point mounting system, the record holding bow tie put out an estimated 850
hp to the jet pump. The single bucket seat has been replaced by a straight
bench seat designed by my good friend and ace fabricator Frank Lomelli of
Paramount, California.
- Tunnel 130 mph rated Ram Hull
- Jet Drive with Safety Blow Out Pressure Valves and special race gates
