boat hardware?
Hi guys, I am building some boats but need some help. I am building a small deep vee boat like the dumas short stuff and want to use a speed 400 motor, I think I can build all the hardware my self but I need a shaft of some sort and a coupler to connect it to the motor [2.3mm shaft I think], can anyone tell me what will work? Any advice will be great, thanks. I could also use recommendations to do a norvel .074 version also.

Octura makes hardware for both of these set-ups. The Norvel would not be my choice for a boat as these are plane engines. Try a R/C car engine. I have a .12 mono with a Trinity/Picco that scoots! I've had 2 of the Short Stuffs and they can be a fun boat with a good set-up in them although things can be a little tight in them. A mild .12 would be a handful with this and an air-cooled engine would eliminate the hassle of running water cooling lines.
