This Volga 70 hydrofoil is owned by Peter Venema.
He is the technical manager of Connexxion Fast Flying Ferries.
The Volga was bought in 1998 together with the "Kusnirov" and
the "Kulikovski".
She was taken as deck cargo on the Kulikovski when Peter
brought those two hydrofoils from Kiev to Holland under their own power.
But starting a new company takes a lot of your free time!!!
So Peter was not able to start the restoration in 2002.

Now that Connexxion Fast Flying Ferries has three new
hydrofoils
that perform very well, Peter has more time.
The little v-drive needs a overhaul.
Also the engine is not powerful enough,
Only if peter is alone the hydrofoil will come on its foils.
New engine and time for a trial run!
Looking good.
Dûh?? cooling problem
Painted,fixed the cooling problem and added
some extra's
like sun deck on the engine hood,chairs and boot stuff......
