Your boat was probably a 250cc Butts. It likely would have been powered by a 2-cylinder Konig (FA) engine. In competition, it would have ran in the low to mid 80's. This boat is not suitable for a contemporary 250 or 350 (including the RB350 that is for sale). If you engine such projects, I suggest restoring the boat and finding a a FA. There were hundreds of FA's in the US at one time. I am sure that you could locate one and get back into running order.
Not bad for cell phone pics
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
It went through a few auctions before with no bidders........
A classic hydroplane though!

Looks good Cyberpunk. Make sure you check the weight for the min in 500CCMH. You should do just fine in this rig, just remember, it does have limits compared to todays designed boats.
Looks great in black, Looks like it came out of the Bat man films ;-)
