Karl,

Around 1980-84 or so a California company called American RC helicopters made an Atlas hydro (I’m sure it’s your boat). I can tell by the pics that boat is your boat with modifications to the cockpit.



The original was made for a 70cc (hornet) motor or belt drive 40cc.



American RC helicopters made the Revolution and Mantis helis. They got into boating and only a few months later a full scale airplane crashed into the building destroying EVERYTHING.. the molds to the Atas too! (There address was “Airport Road” lol TRUE)



Your boat started as a model of the 80 to 83 or so Blue Blaster. (I cannot remember the year)
