AND it doesn't take all that much HP to go fast in a Vdrive HYDRO... If a SK can go 80+ with 500 HP, the hydro can go faster, I believe...
It's the most efficient way to go through water, as compared to a flat, jet, whacker on a Vpad or MVPad or a deep V or any other hull...
3 points of contact as your speed builds, sponsons and the prop...
BUT , I wouldn't do anything with that hull unless you really like the itch of fiberglass and love mixing resin, and painting.... The floors/stringers will be saturated with water, rest assured.... Look at Buzz and Paul's rebuild thread, that is what your looking at, a total gutting of all wood/floors and rebuild all structures just to get to a point where you can begin to make it look nice...

It would be a cool piece of wall art in your man cave SHOP...

I'd keep it a total roach like Rick Kings snotty sounding scruffy turd. Can't get enuff of this.
The thought had also briefly crossed my mind it would be cool to stuff a direct drive stroker up front similar to this one...
.... I already have a massive Peterbilt steering wheel.
