Default RE: Triceptor 1 Engine Upgrade

Glow engines are usually fairly simple things.  Unless there was something drastically wrong with it, it may just need a new set of bearings, a glow plug and a cleanout - bearings will be standard sizes.  There are several posts on this in the glow engine thread. 

If you really want to put a new engine on her, a cheaper option may be to fit a ASP/Magnum chinese engine - new for about $50 US.  this would be my recommendation if you are not sure how that Hull ran, and you just want to get her out and going again. 

I've got a ASP .52 2stroke on my airboat, and she runs well on a 12x6.  She'd scream on a 10.

That hull does look promising!
