That's pretty cool. I wonder about licencing, if the buyer were to start building and selling boats off that mould, could they still be called Mini Voo Doo?

Great to talk to him and I'm thinking about going by and seeing his place this summer while up that way at the cottage. -Chris
Wait a second.... Does that mean they're still building the older boats here??

wow, If I had the space I would love to get some molds and maybe build a boat or 3. That v-pad tunnel looks interesting.

That would be a tough call I think. Something you would have to ask them.

Yeah, no kidding.... But you gotta think, there's a reason they're for sale. As I said earlier, I really think the PWC's did a number on the performance mini boat market. There's still a few of us out there that would drool all over these, but is it profitable?

So your 'stream was built in their shop? I've done some internet searching and have concluded they're not in business anymore. Are they? Why would they be so hard to find?

He told me they were not building the Voodoo's anymore because 1) theres no money in it and 2) they spend all their time building "bigger" boats. I didn't ask what bigger means- I assume it means bigger Hydrostreams/CEs.

I'm guessing like the vkings and bigger family boats.
I would love to have a voodoo myself. Be a great first boat for my little guy. Well in about 7-8 years any ways. LoL
