John, the photos of the engine and pipe is not the finished length. I just put the pipe and engine together to show all what type of gear I am using. I have done an extreme amount of research (About 300 mb of data) into everything involved in the running and setup of the mono hull I am building. But it all still comes down to what others have done and found things that may or may not work, In asking these questions I save myself time finding out the mistake for myself....I listen to all comments and be as blunt as you want, in the end,its my choices of what I choose to do when I build it (if I do wrong , I swim), Dont get me wrong I value all of everyones help....I just want to do it right the first time.
I really enjoy making things and I cant wait to get the hull on the water....
Hope I didnt offend anyone..SORRY[
