I believe it's a 2.5" prop.
No, I'm not a plumber, although I do play one on TV... JK.
I just came up with the design in my head, went to Lowes & picked up the pipes and joints. Then went to wallmart for the noodles.

cool. A little tall, but cool.
Twin sub surface drives would be nice. Just to have the extra pushing power.

RE: The Crappy Anyone can do Boat Build challenge!
I love this idea of a crappy boat build. I am very new to the hobby but think that I have enough stuff already to pull it off.
I almost regret to say that I am in Cabo right now and won't be able to get started for a while. ( I said almost!)
No glue at all? how about goop for sealant? No mater sounds like fun.
