I just bought a 5 foot, 17 lb. Cracker Box (empty) and I think a 260 Zen ain't gona do it...[]

Dose anyone make something like a Zen G-62 marine engine ?

Ballantine used to. I have two of his. They pack a ton of torque but wont reve much beyond 13000.

Jim Geiger I believe has a kit available - [email protected]

Another option may be an inline Zenoah You will have power to spare and plenty of RPM

OLD_SLOW and in the WAY

THats a pretty big, tub it would hide one of these pretty well...

I have the stuff to convert the G62's and can supply a complete motor if needed.
Thanks

How 'bout one of those twins XXX does?

rickburnout666

try one of these minimoto motors (watercooled 50cc 10HP) should do the job
its got clutch and waterpump, all you need

inlinezenoah

i wonder how much that 50cc water engine thats makes 12 HP weighs ? three zenoahs hooked up together will make 12 HP. the power to weight ratio might be better with the zenoahs. The zenoahs will spin more rpm's though just two zenoahs hooked up will make alot of power , and you can't be it for the price...

i just noticed fastrat_porting_service link bath tub engine, http://www.pocketbikesunlimited.com/RACEMOTORS.html has these engines, and a 12 hp engine take a look, but i know these engines have torque and speed as they can pull a 10 stone person at around 60 MPH in the bikeor you could put 3 of Dave Marles 7.3 zenoah engines in It??

If you're rich how about a conley v-8. I'd love to see one of these large cat hulls some day with twin conley v-8's.

I went to that pocket bikes unlimited. Looks like I am going to try one in my 76" mono. I think I might replace the water pump with a starter and go with an electric water pump and a heat exchanger so I can run in the bay.
Thanks for the lead!
Cheers!

The engine bay in my 60" Cracker Box measures 16" wide X 13" long and 7" deep.

What are the dimensions of the Zen twin?

I will contact Pocketbikes for the specks on that beautiful green monster motor.

Few of things you need to think about before going the pocket bike route. Mounts, how are you going to get it in the hull, collet how are you going to get a cable attached to it, the water cooling, going to take more than a 1/8 line coming off the rudder and what are you going to do for a pipe. With my set up or the twins you will not have to do the engineering and fab to make that motor work. Just a little food for thought. I have looked at some of the pocket bike motors and they are going to be a lot of work to make a marine version and more expencive in the end.
