A buddy of mine bought it in an estate sale in the Seattle area and believe it is either Hu Entrop or Wilbur McDonald D or F class hydro.
It measures 11 foot 3 inches.
Does anyone recognise this boat or have any help with its history? Thanks

Looks like he has a 150XS on it.
All true 150Xs's had red stripes and louvered cowlings. There are 74 and 75 150's that had "J" blocks that were the same as the 150XS(same porting) but they did not have the low water pick up gearcase and were designated as 150 short shafr motors. The XS came out in 76. But you never know, Mercury did some strange things. There could have been blue one slip thru the cracks!
Is a Ben Hur. Dave
Look up Clark Craft Ben Hur 11 cabover Hal Kelly Boat plans. Dave
No, I do not think that is a Ben Hur. I also think the only connection to Entrop is that he drove a Wilbur McDonald D just like it.
I am pretty certain it is a McDonald D, I think an F would have been a little bigger and styled a little differently - this is an early McDonald
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
Thanks for the replis. I'll pass on the info, plus the comments on the g3
