Kind of reminds me of a SST with the choice of materials. But those sponsons are so different. I dont think Mark built them the way. Hull style is more like a roadrunner. The rears also looks like some one changed them. By sanding off the inside to make a smaller foot print. They look weird being so forward. I think you have someones attempt to copy a boat.

Ya Mike H. I was thinking a modified RoadRunner but the rear shoes (size & position) threw me off and they are glued on not bolt on or 3M.

Length Sponson tip to transom 36 1/2"
Tub width 4 1/8" wide
Tub length 34 3/4"

This is the OPS that came with it. It is marked .67 on the engine mount, red head. It has great compression spins freely and I'm sure it needs bearings however I'm not familiar with the OPS's will end up selling it. What would be a fair price? It will also include the pipe because I'll run a Muck. LOL

Yup that's a Jim Benns built Hummingbird. The rear shoes need to be moved back from current position. You might consider using a set of Roadrunner 67 Ultralight rears instead. Can't help you on the motor's worth, they aren't made anymore so it's whatever the market will bring.
 
Thanks Don. For now I'm going put one of my CMB's and have some fun with it.
Question as for the front cowl would a Road Runner work on it?
I believe the cowl for a .67 RR Ultralite or Stealth should fit but check tub width. If I recall (it's been a while) the HB's were a tad narrower in the tub than a RR.
 
yes this is a hummingbird with the wrong rear shoes. get a hold of ralph and get your self a set of extreme/ultra light/stealth rear shoes and it will be money. Great boats and super rare. Not many of them left in existance.
