Looking very nice so far!

I assume that you will find a matching prop for you second engine...
... and that the engines have a very similar CC, RPM range, and HP (I hope they are both the same engine but by the looks of them, they arn't)

...Just my little $0.0002...

Did you test how well she floats?
Oh, and one last thing, when you're finished, we would all LOVE some videos[8D]

In person, probably, but I have seen one by following the link in "cajun Gater Fun Run" thread to this image:
[link]http://m-ab-a.com/Gallery/Fun_Run07/cajun_gator_fun_run_012[/link]

And as he said above, keep up the good work!
PS, If I have assumed anything in my posts incorrectly, please correct me![sm=red_smile.gif]

OK, thank you for clarifying.
Well, its been done before, though rarely, so it is possible. What are your hopes for top speed?
IMO, she should do 25-30 easily - though I am not really an expert on gassers (I'm all electric - it's cheaper!)
