Help on identifying this boat

[blazerss]

I got this boat along with two others recently. I'm having a hard time identifying what this boat is and what size the motor is. I think it is a .60 but I'm not positive. I know that the hull needs a little attention and paint, but I think it is going to be a good project. Also I'm wondering what the hole is for in the bottom of the hull about in the middle??? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not quite certain. The sponsons appear to be copies of a Mongoose, the hatch from a Roadrunner...maybe. I do know that the hole in the bottom allows water to drain out of the engine compartment, common on nitro riggers.

Thanks for the info. This isn't my first nitro boat, but my first nitro rigger. Would that hole have a plug in it when it's running and then pull it out to drain after running or be left open all the time?

From your info I'm guessing this is a custom build. Any body else with any info or ideas I would like to hear them
