[QUOTE=spike morelli;114983]Isn't the outboard boat pictured, a Regatta Hull? ( Post 435 ) A friend had one in the sixties/early seventies.[/QUOTE

It is a Regatta with out a doubt. In fact I would bet it was bought from West Anaheim Marine. I can remember rigging at least 3 twin engine Regatta's 157 with 2 1250 for a guy name Jack Erwin called it Black Jack used it for Drag Racing it had a wood deck. Ed Lane from Dick Sheerer Marine ended up with it I remember seeing it in his garage. Then there were 2 of the bigger boats think they were called 174 or 176 both with 1350's. They were definiately a hand full It might not be what you want but they were all you wanted.
