   I made a mod to my motor using an OS 45FSR muffler bolted to the side of the leg and making a blanking plate for the std exhaust. This made it a lot quieter as you can imagine (the original was pretty loud,- old American std)

   It was a K&B 7.5 outboard that I had on a tunnel hull.It was sprayed Black with gold pins stripes like the J. Player Special. I then gave it to my brother. I will try to find pictures of it.

   Had the same motor (MK 1 version) on the back of my own design tunnel, went quite well but had a job getting main bearings (odd size) so re built it and sold it.

   Is that the K&B 7.5 outboard?

   Thank you for interest,.
   
   I mostly like the building. I build scale models which always go too fast. I have an brushed motor admirals barge that at full throttle lifts about the first third of the boat out of the water.
   
   I also bought this thing as a wreck and totally restored it. Looks nice, runs great, never had it in the water.

   I bought an outboard with no motor, so I purchased a brushless motor, I cannot remember what size it is. I have mounted it in a F1 Tunnel hull. I don't have any pictures of that at the moment. But I also have a Graupner Rhode island F1 tunnel hull with an outboard. Still haven't had the pleasure of running it. I must say I'm afraid of it as I know it will be fast and my record on F1 Tunnel hulls is not too good. I crashed the last one way back in the 80's. It had a Glow motor in it.
   It wasn't too bad but then I decided to add some extra Nitro into the existing fuel. Way too much, turned into a lethal weapon hit the side of the pond. I then did the same in a Hydrofibre Pipedream with a 61 engine that bent the conrod and smashed it into 2 pieces. 🙈😂. I'm somewhat of a speed freak.

   Here are some pictures of the outboard. It is a Graupner 500 size. I think it looks O.K., maybe a little big. I was going to build an outboard well and make it look more scale, but this is my first go with an outboard so I kept it simple and just screwed it on the transom. The motor is an old Astro 05 because it was on hand and it fit. I fabricated a coupler to make it work. Turning is with a simple pushrod arrangement. I did try it once and it planed nicely on 9.6V. I had a small 1.6 amp battery that died quickly. Originally I had a 3 blade prop ( had that on hand too) now I changed to a two blade 40mm that I purchased. Nice "Evinrude" graphics is from Callies

    Very nice looking boat. Have you any pictures of her with the outboard fitted?
