well it was made some time around 1974 its a 50" deep vee 12.5" wide it came with 2 ops .60 engines from 1974 and i was just wondering if any one here knows what it is (brand) and what hardware to upgrade to i thought off using something like the speedmaster stinger drive and a offset rudder and im going to change it over to a flex cable and stick an os .81 vr-m in it.

Just any thoughts of the hull or what hardware to use and any other good stinger like drives and rudders.

Here is some pics.

Let me no if you need any other pics.

EDIT: Im looking for either a blue outdrive or a well polished one.
I like the blue M&D out drive but not sure if it well work with the engine im going to use i am going to install a 1/4" flex cable.
The outdrive is on this site just scroll down and you will see it. http://www.mddracing.com/Home_ban_Ls.htm

Thanks for any and all help.

Yes im on rcu as well as other forums. Now about that thing up there ^^^ either one of you have any idea what it is or no of any good out drives im also going to go with a CMB rs91 engine my lhs just offered me a new one for 425 so i think im going to go with that instead of the os 81 vr-m.

I got most of the hardware figured out i just need an outdrive and rudder.

Once i get all the hardware the boat will get a new paint job.

You can't go wrong using Speedmaster hardware as I have it on 3 of my boats.

Yea i think that's what im going to go with is smeedmaster. the CMB RS91 my LHS offered me has been race tuned and ported and there going to give it to me for $425.00 new seems like a good deal to me. I'm going to have them remove the old stuffing tube and fill the hull where it was and drill the new holes for the stinger drive from speedmaster.
