Hi guys! My Dad had this old model boat with a huge brite Red ohlsson and rice 2 cycle (oil and gas mix)engine in it you had a rope recoil starter to start it with.About 1 h.p. It had a huge velocity stack and a header(out of aluminum). It was a deep Vee hull and had all the r/c in the rear in a hatch. It was a fiberglass hull. It had a stern drive as I remember but would take a prop drive also.It was about 48 inches long and maybe 12 inches at its widest.It was about 8 inches tall max. A speedboat looking thing.If you have anything like this boat, I would be interested in it. My dad is gone now and I'm 54. Sooo.. It's now or never! Mikey aka "Anchorboy46". Thank you.

I don't have any idea about what boat it might have been, the engine was likely an O&R Compact (I, II, or III)

Look like any of these?
