SS RC Boats

You can check with Tony @ Warehouse Hobbies in reference to the Homelite....not sure about the other 2 manufacturers. Just food for thought,you might want to just save up a few bucks and buy a stock Zen or RCMK.

Do yourself a favor and take that advice , you will be glad you did in the long run. JMO

Yes get a new or good used Zen or rcmk so you can easily get mounts, collet and exhaust and be a water cooled marine engine and not have that huge aircooled flywheel.

In do realize some like to build with what they have already or can get for very little and just make it do and willing and capable to do just that otherwise it will be much more easily achieved and better final product if you start with a purpose built powerplant, exhaust and driveline.

out of what you have the homelite will be best, but like the guys have said a zenoha will be your best bet, other wise you will pay every time you use it,

Look here they have a different engine section. You may find the setup you need. http://www.marinespecialties-rc.com/
