The Aqua Plane from Popular Mechanics, July 1967

Thu Jul 26, 2012 4:11 pm

I thought I would post this here. Somewhat vintage related. The Aqua Plane from July 1967 issue of Popular Mechanics.

My friends built one and have been using it for looking for scallop beds around Boston Harbor Islands. It's pretty fun to ride on.

The video does not do it justice as the GoPro isnt great in low light. I need to do another video run in the winter time when the visibility is better and the sun is out.

I refer to those as a dive plane and they are a hoot to use. I've got one and have used in in lake Michigan. Great fun!
