Hi Guys, I work on the Docks at the St. Francis Yacht Club. I found this boat in the garage. It’s got no markings or logos on it. I’d like to fix it up for our office and obviously to use it in our harbor. Can anyone here tell me anything about it. I had to trash the RC unit it was all rusted and corroded.

I've been a model boater since I was 7, when my Dad's friend gave me a Sea Urchin. I still have it and restored it last year. No RC, original Kako motor, shaft and …
