another boat to identify
I know I see 100's of post requesting informtion on mystery boats, now it is my turn 
A freind of a freind of a freind found out I enjoy nitro boating, so he came over with a boat that he had inherited from his uncle. He requested that I get it running for him. Try as I might to explain to him that I barely have time to keep my fleet a float, he still managed to leave the thing with me [:@]
Can you tell me what this boat is, where it came from and possibly the best way to set it up (the thing weighs a ton!)
thanks in advance for any direction you can give me..

RE: another boat to identify
The boat looks like a Norco Eaglet. The design is at least 30 years old. It was designed by Dick Norsikien and was manufactured in SoCal somewhere. I ran one back in the day with a K&B 3.5 inboard. Best way to set it up? Find an engine that will fit, hook it to the drive line, try a X437/3 or X438 and go run the thing. Oh, you'll probably want to install a radio.
Sorry, bad joke.
