My Feedback: (1)

Find someone that can do some work on the sleeve as there aren't too many people doing work on these any more.
If it hasn't got a tuned pipe, there's this one: http://htbboats.com/45%20silver%20Bullet.htm . Look up 707 Specialties as he's still doing work with the K&B OB's.
Maybe one of these days those RTR guys will try to build a boat themselves and find out what they've been missing. I've got nothing against them as they do have their place but after a while they should know what goes where. Yes, the Prather hulls are a good 20 or more years outdated but manufacturers aren't scrambling anymore to come out with new ones. Anything over .21's in OB's are a dying breed.

If you get the 7.5 outboard running good and are looking for an up-to-date hull, Vision Craft has a 7.5 cc size that runs good.
