Engine identification
new member, first post, thank you all ahead of time for your knowledge and experience.
I need help identifying the motor in my boat to find a manifold and tuned pipe to fit. I don't how to attach a picture.
The photo is uploaded to my gallery.
The motor is for my 46" dumas enforcer, deep v. haven't run it yet. I recently acquired the boat and getting it ready to run. thanks again.

Looks like a McCulloch or Eager Beaver motor or similar.
As Randy mentioned - has had fins removed and some marine conversion done. You will probably need to take off the muffler to measure up the manifold and bolt spacing and may need to modify to some degree something existing to fit and match up with the port.
That said. Sticking a tuned pipe on any old motor is not necessarily going to deliver a great performance improvement (sometimes none at all). A bigger increase in performance may be (if the motor you have is stock inside) to put a stock marine Zenoah in its place. With or without a pipe the Zen packs plenty of power for its size/weight and will near double the RPM the Echo will run (normally weedwackers wont turn more than 10 000 rpm - A Zenoah will be in the 16000+ range)

Thank you all for the information.
Did I mention how heavy the motor is.
the hull is around 46" long, including the rigging, it is 50"long.
Any personall suggestions as far as motor goes for my application.

It's an 80's McCulloch trimmer motor, I think they're 22cc I have two from a boat I purchased. Here's a copy of the manual

Ron I am not that good with a computer but I think on jims rc boat dock is a tiger king motor for 160.00, check gizmo as well.i do not know what they coast new also Zenohas is a safe bet if you spend the money for pipe ect just go with a newer motor, The only way to win with what you have is to make do with it and have fun, Or spend money and find you do not like boating, If you do that money will be wasted and you will be buying again. either way have fun. for that hull a stock 260 would be plenty of power.
