thanks, I got it on ebay, I what to go with a nitro engine for sure. if the stand is to high I can fix it or make a new one. plus it came with another one . I havent set it in the boat to see how tall it is yet. thanks for the web sites. i would guess around 11 or 12 pounds will see later for sure. think i would stay in the water. and would spend around 100 on an o.s. i like o.s also
