Thanks for all the help Cole,
My boat is a 1971 and the hull is #17.
The boat originally had rails that ran up past the motor. It also has a cool water pickup set up built into the strut.
The boat was built for a racer in Argentina but once he found out the duty tax was more then the boat he declined it. At that time Bob N. sold the boat to Skip Miller.
Please keep all the info coming.
I'm going to scan all the pictures Ted has and post them. The water pick-ups was done like that on the boats ted work on to. He said they had two water pick-up in the strut. The prop shaft was 1" and then taperd down to 7/8 on the wip strut.
