Default Gasser airboat engine

I have an airboat project going that will require some R&D in the engine department and I was wondering if you fellows here in the gasser engine forum could help me out.

This is a secret project, so without divulging too much info.... the finished boat should be around 46 " long, and 32" wide and weigh about 12 - 16 Lbs when done. I have narrowed my choices for an engine down to two possibilities.

The [link=http://h1071118.hobbyshopnow.com/products/description.asp?prod=ZENE26A]Zenoah G-26[/link] (with magneto) or a [link=http://www.fuji-imvac.com/engines/fjig0024.html]Fuji Imvac bt 24a[/link]

Any input on these two engines, or other engines that will turn over a 16 x 10 2blade prop with "vigor" would be appreciated. Thank you.
