Yes it was a 12mm crank TT (very modified) mounted on a gear drive with 1.8 something to 1 reduction and a very short pipe length for lots of rpm. Swung a Prather 255 prop! It was awesome in rough water. Very heavy boat, and struggled a little with the torque at the prop making it handle funny. Longer rudder needed......
John McLucas. He taught me a lot about boats and looked after me when I first got into boats from cars, for which I will always be greatful.
You could try a WTB advertisement on the AMPBA for sale forum, but the cowl was the first thing people would need so they would be rare now. Your best bet would be to try and modify another type of cowl to fit like has been suggested. There are a few guys in Oz with cowl moulds for tunnels, or you could go with something like a VS1 or Dumas sprint 7.5 cowl and cut to suit ( the Sprint 3.5 cowl would probably be too small). You'd have to make a new way to attach the cowl to the hull also as they don't have the provision of the horizontal tabs used on the f1-11, but thats probably not a bad thing....Wow. Thanks. you know your stuff. How do I replace the cover Tim? Any ideas??
