Hi guys, new to the hobby with my first nitro boat...an older Prather Aggressor with a K&B .82 inboard....the boat and engine are almost brand new and I got it for cheap. However, I can't stand the entire starting routine with an inboard, lugging car battery 1/2 mile to the lake etc...I want to install a recoil start engine, but the largest one I can find is an OS .32. I'm afraid that will make the boat dissapointingly slow, but not sure about that. Anybody have any experience withthat engine? Or know of a larger pull start engine? The boat is only 33" long (older hull aggressor), so I think it's too small for a gasoline engine.
Thanks for any input!
