what hull is this

[Ronald van Essen]

Can anyone tell me what type of hull this is??

 

[Mike Culhane]

Never saw one.... but it is bad arss! Outboard hydro?

 

[carlnoki]

Outboard Sport Hydrunnel?

motor does not look fixed and the skeg is gone on the lower unit.

Cowl looks like a cutdown Dumas 3.5 Sprint, Past that dunno........

[Jerry Dunlap]

Kinda looks like a Kneeler with a severe pickle fork problem. Does look cool, however.

i agree with carl 3 point hydrunnel :lol: . might have seen one like it on ebay a few years ago. motor does not look fixed, it does have steering cables going to it, but where is the rudder? i have seen some pics of japanese ob "sport" style hydros that used a separate rudder, not attached to the engine. both turned together off the same servo.

That picklefork problem would make it hard to blowover I would think. I love the Plano tacklebox with the power panel built in it!

If you look at the transmitter that kinda dates the pic. I had one of those transmitters about 20 years ago.

i still have one of those plano tackle box's, mark. & yes, it is about 20 some years old. all my top water plugs are in it. not sure where ronald got the pic from, but he is in europe - they do run some different stuff than us............that blue "carb" almost looks like a venturi & i don't see a throttle cable, but i dont see an exhaust throttle either :huh:

 

[Mike Culhane]

Have any more pictures?

 

[Duck899]

its got a prather exhaust throttle

That looks like an Equi pipe.

That looks like an Equi pipe.

JD

yup, an equii S pipe for sure.

 

[Ronald van Essen]

No I don't have more pictures of it...

It was taken in Honolulu , yep Hawaii-when I was there for a few days around 1995 or 1996.

So good guess about the age of the transmitter.

Indeed in the picture you see no skeg eand a weird motor mount...

 

[Michael Hall]

That looks like an Equi pipe.

JD

yup, an equii S pipe for sure.

Are they any good? I have one on a cmb .21 (has a gold head, I dont know what model it is). Seems to go ok, worth changing?

 

[Mark Poole ModVP]

Despite the age of the Equi design it is still a very desireable piece of hardware!

 

[RonShaw]

Despite the age of the Equi design it is still a very desireable piece of hardware!

Yes it is Mark!!!!! I have Equi pipes on just about every outboard I own......

John's original design paved the way for most all of the designs that followed. I believe he may have been the only one that applied for and was awarded a US Patent for his outboard design......

 

[Michael Hall]

Are they still available?

 

[Kevin Krogness]

Are they still available?

If you can find somebody selling one!!!
