Hey, that looks pretty good. I wonder if they re-glasses the deck, all the other Mize hydros I've seen had the cut-away deck, like a t-deck flat. I cant make out what v-drive that is from the picture. I say just put the motor in and take it out. You can split the case (maybe) and look at the gears to see what they are. If your going with an unblown BBC 12% to 22% is the best range, and one of those is probably in there already. Does this have dual rudders? By the way, there is one for sale with a picture on the classifieds here at ***boat.net. E-mail me some more pics if you have them.
