I believe Ralph's race boat is a hornet. I'm sure he will chime in if he reads this thread.

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

One design of Hornet was a splash (copy) of a Liberty hull.  I don't know how many different hulls Hornet had over the years.

I know very little about the Bayjet pump but believe that there are no interchangeable parts with the Berkeley pumps.

Good luck with the build.

actually, its the other way around. the hornet is the maker of the liberty and Hawaiian bottoms. liberty splashed it.

that looks like a late 60's or early 70's hull....kind of same entry/deck/transom as the tahiti/wriedt design during those years.

if there are no #s on the hull other than the cf #s . go to dmv and see if that is in there system. if not call and make an appointment with the chp. to # your boat. and then you have to go back to dmv to reg it.
