Title: Need another opinion...
Post by: jeren0205 on May 26, 2010, 06:04:21 AM
I picked this V-drive up the other day and dont see any identification on it anywhere. No title because i am the 3rd person to own it since it was purchased from a police auction in Cali. I can see many like it on the net. But nothing exact. I have gotten a few opinions, but thought I would fish for a few more.

So far I hear....   Hondo, Rayson craft, And a few say old Sanger. Is what throws me and alot of folks off, is the bulk head in the center and its size. Ill post the best pics i have at this point, from a few diff angles.. Thanks.

Thats unbelievable!  I did not expect that at all. I worked the deal on the boat from oregon. I ended up getting paid $500 and the boat & trailor. I just sold the engine. What history can you give on it?
