Re: old speed boat find
Been waiting for the pics.
Yeah that's a Baja 16 SS.
That little center section about a foot wide is the only real sole (floor) under that should be one stringer (probably rotten).
It's a balsa cored hull.
No doubt about it you did good.
Unfortunately it's only rated for 120 hp but if you check out the scream and fly web forum you'll find guys with even bigger motors then you have.
You'll need at least dual cable steering if not hydraulic so add that to the budget.
Great hull but most say it's limited to high 60's because it doesn't have a pad (flat spot on the bottom of the hull to ride on a high speed) but I've seen video of one going over 100.
