At present I am seeing the Venom hydro as our best choice.
Next is a engine that can toss a rooster tail. 40 mph should be enough speed for 5 guys aged 60 to 85 years old ?. All race restored full sized round nosed hydros. Doing LEFT HAND turns ONLY. Should be funny on the first turn. Standard gas engines for many reasons. Who makes FRONT in REAR out over the drive shaft ? Do any have a on the engine electric starter available ? I have built my own for the Gizmotor engine. Crude O ring & pulley on the small DC motor shaft.
Would like to use Octura submerged straight drive shaft & strut system. No flex.
Possible prop #s that are balanced & polished by the retailer.
Radio system for BIG fingered drivers.
Is Coleman fuel really white kerosene ?
I used 2 water pick up tubes. 1 to feed the cylinder head. 1 to feed the exhaust header elbow. both are rammed by the top of the prop blast area.
The Gizmo spark plug in my boat is a light tan / brown after a fast run & quick stop to check the color.
Am I missing things ?
Add anything I forgot.
Money is not a problem. 1 person is paying for everything required to get 5 boats running.
