Well, I did it...I just bought a Shoestring! Reading all the posititive comments here tipped the scale for me. Unfortunately, the Saito 65 I was going to use, won't fit in the cowl...and I'm not going to cut that nice cowl!
Here's the question....What engine/muffler combinations are you guys using, that will fit entirely in the cowl? Since I'm going to have to buy a new engine for this model, I'd like to know what my options are. I think I'll go two stroke, for cost considerations at this point.....You're comments please!

Thanks, Nigel
