OK, so Ive decided to go ahead with the restoration on my Benchseat Hornet.
I have found some very good threads here on this site. I love coming here and dreaming about I can eventually have.
Anyway, My hornet has no running gear, so I am trying to track down the proper parts.
It is a mid 60's V drive hornet. I am planning to drop in a Crusader 454 that I already have(good idea or bad? and why)
My main question is what Vdrive am I looking to get for a 19' Hornet? What angle and what gear ratio? I believe Donzi used Casale Vdrives, but I do not know.
Also, does anybody know where I can get a transom mounted rudder?
Finally, I cannot seem to find any numbers identifying this Benchseat. Anybody have any places that I should look? The deck will be coming off and I would love to find it somewhere.
Thanks for all your help
