Help?

[ruppred]

Could anyone help me decide what this is? I can't find any motor or tunnel numbers. The tach, speedo, and cylinder temp gauges are mounted on the hood (assuming a previous owner did this). All our sleds were 73 n up so i don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 8.jpg[/IMG]

It's a 1971 Sprint 34 or 44,depending on motor size. Check the distance on carb mounting bolt flange,if it measures 3",it's a 440;if it measures 2",it's a 340. The motor is a Tohatsu. The gauges on hood,done by previous owner. The bottom lower panels should be plastic,or could be fiberglass,if replaced at some time.

I like how they mounted them gauge pods !!! Very unique !!!

your machine has a magnum hood. look where the windshield screws are.also the lack of a
lip for a sprint windshield.tohatsu engine is a big block (400/440) as indicated by the size of
the coil cover.god knows wheather the chassis is a magnum or a sprint but certainly seems
to be a 1971.

naw, it's a sprint hood look at the first photo, looks like someone screwed a yankee windshield on it

I like it what ever it is! it should be restored with all of the extra gauges. IT'S ONE OF A KIND

Thanks for all the replys.Was thinking it was a sprint, but hopin it was a magnum, oh well on to restorin'. Anybody know where to find 71 sprint fiberglass and seat?

There's a couple of rupp hoods on Mlps. craigslist cheap! check it out, one of them might what your looking for. The seat is going to be tough to find.

I see a lip about an inch before the side gages (follow it around to the sides). Narrow tunnel, (the toolbox indicates it), and the large engine tells me it's a 71 Sprint 44.
