What kind of drive?? If your starting from scratch go with a 2" High X Dim (I'd Go 3" but 2 is good for you) and yes thats one he11 of a rough water boat.

Congrats. Very cool boat. I found one on brokerage at a Monroeville,Oh dealer fell in love with it but had no cash.
Now I have the cash but it's gone, so I'm still looking.
Have fun with it.

Default Martini

I have a 1980 26' Martini with twin 350 small blocks. Alpha drives, one is counter rotating. Rare i've been told. Sitting on a trailer. Thinking of selling, however not sure of what its worth.
