Default Decent motor and clutch for $100?
Hey, I'm trying to build myself a boat but I've never done one before.

I'm looking for a gas weed eater style engine but I want to keep cost down as much as possible while still having decent 30-40mph type speeds.

I bought this hull: [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6055807549&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6055807549&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1[/link]


I was thinking of a $35 McCulloch from [link=http://www.staton-inc.com/Results1.asp?Category=13]HERE[/link] and getting a water jacket from [link=http://www.eellspdx.com/mcculloch.html]HERE[/link].

Anyone have any other suggestions for a decent motor? I want something that I can easily find the parts I need like mounts, header and exhaust and water cooled head.

Trying to build a boat for as cheap as possible without going to cheap.

I will be using a SPD III drive and dual rudder setup.

Thanks a bunch for any suggestions!
