Neat little boat!
I had a 10' with a 25 rude and a 14' (I believe) w/ a 75 rude and they were both a blast to drive. A guy at one of the marinas here in town had a 16' Invader.. he put a 225 Evinrude V6 on it just for fun. The water line was right at the transom lip and he had to launch it with a crane. Good luck on the resto. Definitely worth doing.

Core is finally out! In the pics it shows where the core was removed. Also it shows where I reinforced the area with a piece of biaxial cloth with epoxy. The existing pad area was left too flimsy for my liking even though it is getting replaced with .5" balsa. I'll keep the pics coming as I progress.

Neat boat! I like the forward-swept nose, reminds me of an Allison GT20 scaled down.
The boat under restoration has a bit of a different deck than the pictured Chiquita Banana, with a ramp just forward of the dash.
Laker - How did it run with that V4? And with what kind of motor work?
