The pictures you posted are not the 7912. They are of a display boat made from the Miss US, 7402 Note that the cowling had no exhaust holes and does not come off.

thank you harry.

this clears up my confusion about the 7912 and 8012 boats.
 
IIRC, the 7912 and 8012 were almost line for line twins. Obviously, the Bud crew made some minor changes to improve performance but, beyond that............
