Rick Lee’s “Hurry Round Hondo” Was Truly a Jet Boat Before Its Time. Here are Rick's memories of the Much-Storied “Hurry Round Hondo” K-Jet in his own words.
From 1974 to 1976 I was working for Hondo Boats in the San Fernando Valley selling boats. I was also driving any kind of race boat I...
HOT ROD MAGAZINE SPECIAL "CREAM PUFF"
Even by today's standards, the technology and craftsmanship of the "Hot Rod Magazine Special" (HRMS) would be remarkable. The fact that the boat was built sixty years ago makes the accomplishment a little like the construction of the ancient pyramids...
Marathon Racing's Most Dominating Boats Turning Sixty
The Salton Sea 500 marathon race was a boat breaker. During most years (1961-1965*) less than 25 percent of the original starters were able to limp to the finish line. The four-mile triangle race course was a torture track. By days...
The Lake of the Ozarks annual Shoot-Out competition is a potent cocktail of fast hulls and mega horsepower attracting the fastest boats from all parts of the country. It’s an exercise in excess where bigger is better. But apparently, not always if your Brendan Alvarez from Miami, Florida...
Okay, I’d like to see a show of hands, please. How many of you, when you’re browsing through Boat Trader or Craigslist online looking for a diamond-in-the-rough hot boat steal, do you immediately slam to a stop and start dialing the phone or sending an email when you see a 30+ year old 26-foot...
When Patrick and Shelly Koch of Dallas, Texas set out to replace their previous boat they had some specific goals in mind. The new float would be a larger V-bottom, with enough weight and power to run rock solid at high speeds. Add to that a large mid-cabin and enough stereo to keep the party...
As I was researching another "fast" Campbell, I was told that I needed to go see a guy in Havasu who might have information on an even faster Campbell. Since I was going to be in town anyway, what could it hurt to see if this "rumor" was true or just another beach story?? My inside source said...
This particular 20'er has definitely seen better days when it arrived at KMG Boats down in San Diego for it's restoration. The owner asked Kevin to fill previous rigging holes, and basically prep it to be an entirely new build. The only problem was the boat had literally 100's of stress cracks...
There's a lot of great content on this site, that many members never get a chance to see.. In 2016 we are committed to getting back into the groove of providing new and fresh content (Like the Webinar on EFI on January 20th), and while we are gearing up for summer, I figured I would post...

Long time Teague customer Don London, former owner of the 178 MPH DCB F32, finally bought this 2001 Schiada River Cruiser from his father in law. The boat had been sitting in storage for awhile not really being used much, and since Don had just gotten a house on Bass Lake, he had a need...
This week I would like to showcase a project Schiada flat that we built a few years ago. Part of this boats beauty stems from the clients keen sense of planning and quality assurance. In turn, we all wanted to be certain that the boat suited and functioned well.
The boat is a 1971 Schiada...
