Domino double six

[geir]

I recently scanned some old slides and came across these.
Considering I assembled it myself from a kit, this boat never ceased to amaze me, we used it for diving all year around. It could take four divers on a plane, six at slower pace, I think at a time we were 11 persons on board. We also did waterskiing all year, sometimes in a couple of metre waves. The gearbox of this Evinrude only lasted a couple of years before the gearbox broke, apparently it did not like the way the prop went in and out of the water all the time I had it modified with a racing kit with proper thrust bearings instead of the original shims, but in the end it was replaced by a 30hp Yamaha, never had any trouble with that The Domino was used until '92, I think, when I got the SR4, it is still in the basement, though, the hypalon (and the neoprene) on the stbd. tube where I used to sit is worn down to the cord...
Anybody else here built one of those Domino kits?
What happened to Domino Inflatables?

Never heard of the SIB kit, but you may not be surprised to hear I have rebuilt the gearbox on one of those Johnsorude 25s.......

The split case is a class 1 PITA to seal!

I was hoping, since it had the same block and some other parts as the '35HP, that it would be more robust, but I had a lot of problems with that engine
