Opps.....Maybe not.....Looks like the newer 31 cube motor?........Hey still looks like a fun ride!

[halestorm]

It's a Yamaha motor -- that much I know -- but size unknown, sorry!
It is a lot of fun, though! That's my 8-year old daughter in front of me in the last photo.

Are these older pictures? Post #1 says that the reg. is current, yet the photos show 2011.

[halestorm]

Yes, they are pictures I had on hand. The bottom pic is before I painted it, even. Current registration is through '13. I can take some newer pictures if you'd like.

current photos

Bill pointed out the photos were old, so here are current photos. There's nothing new except for the registration sticker, so I added some different views. These were taken just now.

Looks like a SWEET cottage racer!!!!............Any history on the hull?

[halestorm]

I bought it a year ago from the fellow that built it, Chris Chamberlain. He built it a couple of years prior to that.

It looks like a Wetback hull but the deck is very different from origionol. That would have a clothe deck & hatch instead of a windscreen/cowl.
What is the lever [starboard aft]? engine timing, tilt or trim tab adjuster.. drain plug release maybe?

[halestorm]

yes! It is a Hal Kelly Wetback 10 but with a wood deck. The starboard side lever was originally intended to shift between neutral and forward. However, I disconnected the cable because one of the places I often go requires you be able to shift between F-N-R. A little more thought and one could probably manage that with the cable-driven lever but at the time it was just easier to manage without it.
