RE: unknown boat and engine
No clue on the hull .... Engine I know well 
Engine is McCulloch manufactured clone of the Kioritz/Echo SRM-200 engines of @ mid/late 1980's vintage.
It will be 26mm stroke and 32mm bore at 21.2cc displacement. Coil system is RPM regulated to @ 11K, 2 transfer ports total, pretty small intake and exhaust ports and rated at about 1HP if my memory is correct, been a LONG TIME ago

Matt, he says over on his other duplicate thread that's it's not a Hustler but after looking as hard as I can at it the interior does look awfully smooth for a 'glas hull. It could be the pix or my old eyes. Rounded strakes were also a tell-tale sign of a Hustler as they couldn't get them sharp vacuum molding the hulls.
OK, just saying that if it is a Hustler, the boats weren't fast as when they were made, the advertised speed was a whoppin' 17 MPH with the Mac in it. It seems like they did have a faster one called the Alien. I'd have to dig up some old RCBM's to find the ads. I don't know if they're still making the Hustler's as I saw one last year at a LHS that appeared to be NIB.
The boat shown here at least doesn't have the Tupperware style radio box that the Hustler's came with yet looks like somebody did make a radio box for it out of plexiglas.

Looks like the Hustler - an RTR Boat that came out in the 90's. Hulls were white ABS plastic. If the boat is plastic then that is your man.

RE: unknown boat and engine
Now that I know what I have, I would like to increase the rpm's on this engine. I have been told I might find a hotter coil for this Echo SRM - 200 engine, can or does any one know where to get such an item, and if I can get more rpm's, how much can I increase and still keep the engine together. If I could get 30 - to 40 out of it I would be happy. I would have to add some hardware to the boat, any info to make this boat better would make my day. THANKS,
