Hydrodyne

Hydrodyne was a boat company founded by Abner Crosby in the late 1950s. The company was then later run by his son Abner (Ab) Crosby Jr. until 1993 when he sold his interest in the company to private investors.

Hydrodyne produced many different hulls ranging from small runabouts all the way up to house boats. Hydrodyne is mostly remembered for its signature Ski boats that ran twin outboards in many ski shows throughout the 1960s through the 1990s. A few manufacturers, specifically Tom Miller Boats and Dyna-Ski boat company still make the 18 foot and 20 foot models that can accept up to 3 outboard motors.

Examples of these boats can be found at this [http://hydrodyners.com web-site] dedicated to the preservation of the history on the Hydrodyne Boat Company.

The Hydrodyne trademark is owned by another ski boat manufacturer and may one day reappear on boats. At the current time the use of the name for marine applications is non-existent.
