Which Tornado?

Which model of Tornado do we think this is? It's odd because it's longer than the other Tornado I currently have but much shallower V and narrower beam. I believe this one previously had an inboard.

More importantly, can anyone tell me the max hp for whatever model this is?

Adrian, photos show it with a 50 but the previous owner reckoned it was underpowered. I want to put a 80 2-stroke on, but not sure if it'll handle it. I reckon it's about 5.5m.

Does look similar to the one above.

5.3 I reckon, the one in the picture with the black tubes is a
5.1 or 5.3 (same hull). Very little rise in the bow and a smaller diameter tube than the 5.5 and 5.8 (again, same hull)
The black tubes one is obviously a Retube as it has a curved tube, the originals are sectional.
