The boat is 68" long and 34" wide and weights over 40pounds! You can't fathum how big this boat really is. I can sit atop the boat without it sinking.Keep posted I am installing an engie with way more power and double the RPM, I'll make you happy yet!
It's an airplane engine, it only spins 6500rpm. This was an experiment, it's hard to find an afordable engine that will move a boat this size. I am now tring to sqeeze a CR 80 dirtbike engine in there, The little cr80 has somewere in 20hp range and almost 25000 rpm! Should put this boat in the 60 to 70mph range.
No it's a single cylinder airplane engine, I converted to marine. However it doesn't spin enough RPMs to really push this boat. The boat weights over 40pounds! I am in the works of adapting a honda cr80 dirbike egine to fit inside the hull, that should move this huge boat nicely!
