Close to where I lived (Richmond). Can't help you with a recommendation, but Wayne Schaldenbrand, the Pres over at Sunsation in Anchor Bay has a Sanger Hydro. May want to get in touch with him. Good luck with your project, nice boat!

I have been to Waynes home and photographed his Sanger for future ideas on rigging..He was great..Very down to earth and helpful...
I am thinking a 572 Chev as I can get a deal on GM performance parts but it will really come down to what I can get a deal on..Still unsure of induction..
I bought the boat from a guy in California that raced Sanger's in the 60's and 70's..He had this boat built in 85 in a meduim layup then stored it...It has never been titled and I will do so in the spring..It has the Sanger VIN embossed on the stern...I have seen a few of these Hemi powered but I am sure it is nearly impossible to find parts and they are expensive..
Any input is greatly appreciated and I also am in need of a good trailer..If I would have been on the ball I would have had one built as it was purchased in the same city as Extreme Trailers in California..
