  • COREY: My buddy Bob

  • today to check out one of the first personal water crafts.

  • It's a Barracuda hydro-cycle.

  • And they can be pretty collectible.

  • How you doing, man?

  • This gentleman Bob contacted me and is

  • interested in selling this. - How are you doing?

  • Hi. How are you?

  • Doing well.

  • COREY: So tell me about it, man.

  • BOB: Well, it's a-- it's a 1969 hydro-cycle.

  • It was probably one of the first PWCs that were made.

  • COREY: That's pretty cool.

  • Someone invented a car.

  • And then someone wanted a motorcycle for the street.

  • And some guy wanted a motorcycle for the water.

  • Any older, it might have been the Flintstones.

  • Yeah.

  • BOB: Today I'm trying to sell my personal watercraft.

  • It's a 1969 hydro-cycle.

  • Most people have never seen one, compared to the new jet

  • skis that are out there.

  • I'm hoping to get $2,500 out of it.

  • It's kind of funny what I want.

  • But I need a set of teeth.

  • COREY: But it's definitely cool.

  • I mean, it's like basically the first sit-down jet ski, right?

  • This is from my time when I was a kid just turning 16.

  • And this was really cool because you

  • didn't see anything like it.

  • It was red and white.

  • You know, if I saw this in a magazine, I was like,

  • wow, that's like the Jetsons, you know?

  • COREY: So what can you tell me about it?

  • Everything on here is original except for the motor.

  • It's missing, of course, the seat.

  • It's missing a battery.

  • It's missing the fuel tank.

  • Other than that, it's pretty much all there.

  • The shifter is right here.

  • That's for forward and reverse.

  • And then the gas throttle is up here.

  • COREY: Reverse is pretty key on these things

  • because there's no brakes on them.

  • So reverse basically is your brake.

  • BOB YUHAS: That's true.

  • So what are we looking to make this thing operational?

  • BOB YUHAS: The first thing we'd have to do

  • is strip everything off of it, send all the pieces out to get

  • re-chromed, pull the motor off.

  • I would try to get the original 35 horsepower.

  • What we'll do is we'll remake the Barracuda

  • decal, re-cable everything, new moldings down the sides.

  • So, basically, we're pulling the whole thing

  • apart, rebuilding it, and then going

  • at it from scratch, right?

  • That's a resto, yeah.

  • Yeah, OK.

  • So what are we talking?

  • Probably about $4,000.

  • Ooh. -

  • COREY: OK.

  • So what are you going to get for it?

  • I was asking $2,500 for it.

  • OK.

  • I mean, for four grand worth of restoration,

  • what someone could get for that price after and make a profit,

  • it's just--

  • I don't see being able to make any money on it.

  • I don't have the time or the resources

  • to sit on something like this and try to sell it.

  • I appreciate you letting me take a look at it.

  • Thank you so much for your time.

  • Take care. Appreciate it, Bob.

  • Thanks for stopping by.

  • No problem.

  • I didn't make the deal.

  • But that's OK.

  • You know, I'll take it back.

  • I'll advertise it.

  • If it doesn't sell, I'll start to restore it

  • myself and probably fall back in love with it.

COREY: My buddy Bob
