Default Please help identify this tunnel

My dad bought this bought quite a few years back (late 90's) and doesn't remember what it was.

Length 34.5" with a 14.5" width.

What motor should it have? I beleive it has a Du-Bro adjustable motor mount but do not know if it is for a 3.5 or 7.5

Thanks and any help is welcomed

At 34-1/2", it's made for a 7.5cc. What hull it is, I haven't a clue. My guess is that it was used when dad bought it as it could be from the mid-80's.

Yes Dad bought it used from a garage sale in the mid-late 90's

As far as motor my dad and I assumed 7.5cc due to the size of hull. Is K&B/MECOAthe only source for this size motor?

Mecoa is mostly likely out of stock on that engine, and they don't seem to care to make more K&B engines. Your best bet is to look on e-bay and the for sale forums.

You can also put a 7.5cc power head on a lawless lower. Rossi makes a 7.5cc power head. Do a search.

And there are the 7.5cc Nelson outboards, but I know little about them, so do a search. There is info on Intlwaters.

Hope that helps.

Gary Preusse sells a lot of K&B OB's and parts plus also handles the Nelson's. The Nelson's use special costly glow plugs as a downside.
