Bruce, actually, the mounts are set up for it to be a puller, a major majority of rc airboats are pullers, mainly because of the advantage of the props air cooling the engine. And thanks for informing me about remote needles, now I see what the difference is, just a re-located needle, seems safer so I'll go with it, good suggestion.

The Tower Hobbies engine is a remote needle, I said wrong in my first post, so I'd go remote needle with either engine I choose. So plane guys, GMS or Tower Hobbies engine? GMS is a good brand, rite?

Thanks.

edit: The picture(on websites selling the kit) simply shows the Big Swamp Buggy as a puller like most of the rc airboats are. The reason for the two blade prop in the picture is they recommend the underpowered engine(.40) making for 15mph(ish) speed so that's why it's a 2 blade prop in the picture.
