Patience there as you posted late last night and a lot of people haven't checked in here yet today.
The outdrive might be a Kanellos and it has Aeromarine trim tabs. What else you have there I don't know as it is some old stuff.
Greenville huh? I didn't notice your address until I spotted the Meijer's tub.

Cannot say the hull looks at all familiar. Hard to tell but from the pics it almost looks like someone has adapted the deck to accomodate the cowl. The profile certainly does not suit the hull.

Just by looking at the drive, power (may not be original but older none the less), and styling I would guess her to be a mid-late 1990's model.

jim, that hull looks simular but not like yours. that hatch looks funny on there and just like JAWS sadi it may have been adapted. the motor is newer than the rest of the goodies for sure. she wopnt be a speed demon! but it will move.

thanks to everyone. i only paid a 100.00 for it so im not out much. the motor runs good and it has a clutch on it. i am going to move the motor. they had it mounted on the very rear of the boat. it has all the electronics, i need a gas tank and a sealed box. the servos are not in anything. just mounted. it will be a good winter project.

If you get it going and need a place to run, we've got a club lake in Grandville just north of 28th Street east of I-196.

That is an International Hobbies-Amps ICBM gas vee hull. It was suppose to be a loose representation of the Fountain ICBM offshore powerboat, but the cockpit is completely different than the real boats are . These were usually made in a red gel coat, however I have seen one that was white. Here is a photo of my original ICBM Enjoy, Mike, ML Boatworks
