probably only 48" long by 18" wide. maybe 55 including all the hardware off the back. cant pin point the manufacturer? motor is a zenoah G2D.

Welcome to the Forum!!

I am not sure Microburst ever made crackerboxes. Boat is a crackerbox. Dont know whos though. I would be willing to bet it is more likely 10 years old - not 2 years old. The old zenoah was superseded 10 years ago though.

Be a fun boat though - crackerboxes can be a hoot!!

Is it a good engine then. Guessing a 23cc

It's not a Microburst, this from a former Microburst owner as they only make deep Vee mono's, no C-boxes. One sure way of it not being a Microburst is that they use no wood in their hulls as the engine rails and transom doubler are composite pieces.
The Homelite is either a 25 or 30cc, most likely the 25cc.
I'm more curious about the strut and rudder as I've never seen that brand before or else it's home-made.

I believe that model Zenoah was only available as a 23cc. I had a dozen or more of those little old zens (mine were all air cooled). Nice little motors (in their day/20 years back) but the aircooled version would overheat easy and lose a little chrome off the bore near the exhaust port rendering them inoperable (lucky I had so many on hand!!). I cannot say if the problem will exist with your motor - no experience with the water cooled jug. They also had a micro small carb port though yours may well have an upgraded version. As I say - that motor is likely more a piece of history rather than a 2 year old example (which would be the current style zenoah as they have not changed in a few years) - I purchased mine from a clearance center more than 20 years ago. Motor looks to be in very good shape but the oxidizing on the aluminum hardware gives it a patina that looks pretty old (yet very original).

Seller may have had the motor in a closet and installed it in a new/er hull - or the whole setup might have been stored for years/decades. I have not seen anyone selling that motor in decades - so parts availability might be of concern. Some items look new/er. The walbro waterpump looks quite new. As does the fuel system. The exhaust looks reasonably new and I am not sure that style was around more than 10-15 years ago.

As i say - I am not going to come straight out and say nothing there is more than 2 years old - but everything I know about that motor indicates an age counted in decades - not years.

Have you seen the boat running yet? I would think that motor should move it ok (sport speeds) but think it might be one of the slower boats on the pond.

Overlooked your prop and muffler questions. I would leave the muffler on - never will complain about the boat being too quiet - and many a pond has been lost due to excess noise (your always better off avoiding unwanted attention).

As for a prop - I would try a Prather 270 prop. Be a very good starting point.

Thanks for all the info. This is realy a good forum. I havent ran it yet its being shipped to me. The hull was custom built in canada 2 yaers ago and was put in the watter for the first time last year. The exhaust is a new wet system so it's probobly not tuned yet. The engine was pulled out of storage and has few runs on it. Noise realy isn't a issue i own a 6 acre pond in my front yard this will be my first gasserl, I've owned nitro's in the past.

You better check with the guy on ebay because it's still for sale and it is being bid on right now.I think it has 4 hours left on the auction,he might of scammed you out of your money.

Hi Dave,

Looks like this thread has taken a turn which will be a little confusing for anyone looking since we started out talking about a cracker box and now it is a cat. I agree it is probably a better buy than the Cracker box.

I believe I saw your cat at the WRAM Show in NY. It had the hatch on so could not see what was on the inside. Nice looking boat though

blizard05

That was 4-5 yrs ago, I, remember that boat,it is a good looking boat. Larry
