What a score. Great job! That looks like an Alpha drive and a Land and Sea "Step N Jack". Be careful if so. Alphas don't like big power, hole shots or re-entering off a wave under power. Not sure of the reputation of the L&S piece either. The I/O guys on this board will be able to tell you. Maybe thats an SS drive?? Thought it was just a nose cone but I don't think with the water p/u's that far forward.
Very cool, and very rare pc regardless. You did good Son.
PS, we need interior and motor pix's next.

Looking at that bottom design too, w/the pad on it (like a Velocity), those tabs, that drive ad some power....., get ready

W/decent power that thing should be an absolute ball to drive! If that era of hull is well built, I'd be shopping for Bravo drives and big power right now! W/that pad bottom it's screaming for LARGE HP's. Would be the sleeper from hell too

Thank you all. It has a bravo drive with nose cone. It has a fresh 502 with stainless marine exhaust had cutler injection but it now carb. Ported heads and cutler intake custom ground crane cam and full roller. 8.5-1 compression perfect for the procharger kit I have for it. I am just concernd about the stern jack and holding up. I will get pics of the interior it's not bad considering it all orginal vinyl.
