I recently purchased a 74 silverline hilo 15v and planning on restoring it to as close to original as possible. When i bought it, it was pretty much gutted and rigged with motor controlled from rear. I was wondering if anyone knows where the original throttle controls were located? I tried to find pictures and information on the original configuration of the boat but can't. I have the steering figured out but can't find where throttle controls are supposed to be.if anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Here is a few pictures I located here on iBoats. It's 1973 Silverline Aruba 15V model but you can see the throttle handle.

There's also some original brochures on THIS site. Controls for those boats were almost always on the right side of the driver.
