That is not a cruiser Randall . That is a true flatbottom . I know I had a 73 Sanger Flat .. I loved that old boat . I had a  454 engine , with a velvet drive in it .. Would run the lake all day long in that thing . Would only run about 80-82 mph ..

Only??? that is pretty darn good for a lake boat.

That is 5mph better than mine, either one of them.

That is funny coming from two of the faster boats on this site ...

Kind of wish i had that old set up back , it was dependable and fun .. The  old LS 6 Chevy would run all day on 93 octane , 80-82 is respectable for that boat , any faster it would have hurt me on the shut down , too much air under it , the back would get loose and try to do some weird stuff ..

That should be a fun project.  I have been digging the Vdrives lately.

what prop were you running? and the cav plates only have the t handle for adjustment.

Randal : I had a 11 1/2 x 15 steel two blade on it  most of the time and some times I had a 11 3/16 x 16 Menkins three blade on it , both ran out about the same on top end , but the 3 blade would really bite hard in the turns if you were pulling tubes or skiers.. Mine had two large skaggs under it and it would turn on a dime .. Dam I loved that boat , but I pulled the stringer loose all the way up the passenger side and did not want to spend the money to fix it , so i bought the current Cole TR-4 that I have now .

Mine also had the same "T'" handle for adjustment that you could lock into like 5 position ..
