There is a member here on this section by the name of [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/profile.cfm?section=profile&forum=1&memid=211422]Lester Burch[/link]....get ahold of him.
He can make a prop adapter and engine mounts for you....otherwise its MacGyver time. Most people just scratch a patch of hair off their head before a good mounting idea takes hold. LOL If you cant figure anything out, post up a pic and we can try to help as much as possible. |

go HERE, it's the engine conversion forum for converting weedeater/chainsaw engines for airplane use but it's the same thing as airboat use... there are places to get prop hubs which are the only custom parts needed, they are usually about $20 plus shipping. There are a few places to get them that have them on the shelves like wackerengines.com but I don't keep up on those since I have a lathe and make my own.
post up on what engines you can get ahold of either here or on the conversion forum and someone will help out. |

Probably the easiest to convert is the 30cc RYOBI/Homelite long shaft motor as you can put a spacer with backing for your prop, mount from rear crank cover bolts with some alloy angle!
