First you need to measure the hull itself to see if it meets any real boats on the master hull roster (I doubt it will). After that you're still looking at a ton of work making corrections. It would be best raced as a Thunderboat in that class.

Nice looking hull !!
Is it regular fiberglass, epoxy, or carbon ?

Are you wanting to build as an actual 1/6 gas scale?
If so, you need to refer to the Mastet Hull Roster (found on the NAMBA home page) under the scale tab. See if your hull meets the measurements for a particular boat.
Or do you want to build a classic thunder boat and paint it to "look" like an actual boat?
Two very different courses of action.
