Heyes guys thanks for all your help on getting the year turns out its an 79 put it in the water last night no throttle response from the motor on the remote controls tired and pissed off left it on a sand beach next morning back down again took the cowling off solution to the throttle part was found a linkage popped off lol so fixed that took her for a spin wasn't expecting the performance out of her like I got according to the gps she hit 34 knots with me and the old man aboard that's with the 40hp mariner more then fast enough for me planes really easy as well just got some more tweaks to do with the remote controls now can't seem to get her all the way in reverse with the controls and trouble getting throttle in forward at times unless I use the starting lever on the controls but it's coming along
