Tempest Europa 40 Mono -- What Motor?
Hi,
New to the forum and have some experience with RC boats, planes and cars. I'm completely new to the nitro powered boats and was wondering what would be a good fit for a 40" mono hull that I recently was able to snag off ebay? I'm finding it somewhat diffcult to find marine motors, there are plenty of car and truck motors but nothing with a cooling head and pull starter. I am not overly worried about the cost but would like to get the best bang for the buck. The boat will be used in a large canal that sees some chop from wind but no larger boat traffic. I've been doing the research and have been thinking of running a surface drive as well. I only have pictures from ebay and can post upon request but the boat looks like at one time it was a running unit, but currently was stripped down and left with a few parts of hardware. I plan on sanding down and cleaning up the hull after I have the boat in running order. All help and suggestions are greatly welcomed and appericated.
Happy Labor Day folks!
