XXXboatworks sent pic's of the engine he is puting together for me, going in the MTI Cat.

Thanks Raj,

Are you planning a clutch?

xxxboatworks

Yup, I'm putting a blue Bonzi clutch on it.

Paul M

I figured. As you know I used to have one and I can't imagine fighting a boat that big without one. 'bout like what those 2 highway patrolmen went through wrestling that 12 foot aligator over the naked crack head the other day. Did you hear about that[X(]

XXX,

What are the dimensions of that twin? I need a power plant for my 60" 17 lb. cracker box.

Hi XXX...a question regarding the m-power water jacket. I notice you use them on most of your motor builds. They look a lot like the Bonzi jackets. Is there a tech difference why you use them vs. Bonzi. I know price wise they are about the same. Just curious?

xxxboatworks

No real tech difference. M-boat is a new company and I thought I'd give them a try. They have impressed me with the quality of their parts and customer service. All the machine work is very clean (all done on a CNC)...no cheap castings or chinese knock off parts. I am now using mostly all M-boat cooling jackets, carb blocks, engine mounts and hardware. If the parts weren't top notch- I would not be using it. As far as Bonzi- I have no complaints and I will continue to use thier parts too.

What are the dimensions of the twin ? How long is it ???

xxxboatworks

It's 10 inches long from the back of the pull start to the end of the tapered crankshaft. Add another 2.5-3.5 inches if you are considering a clutch. The smallest boat I have put it in is a 55" vhull.

Thanx XXX,
Since your web site is still under construction and there's no info, how much IS the twin 260 and dose it come with mounts?

As far as the web site being under construction....I don't think you will see any updates on it for sometime. I am swamped with boat projects and really can't see inviting any more business. The majority of my boat projects are pretty invloved (twin engines, inlines, gearboxes, paintjobs, fabricated custom parts, etc.) and pretty time consuming. I'm currently working on 10 boats and everytime I come close to catching up, it seems like I'm back in the hole again!

Steve,
Your all blue inline (with "GENUINE" zenoahs [8D] , M-boat mounts, M-boat jackets and Bonzi clutch) is almost done. I should have the all red inline done by the weekend. Man, what are you doing with all these inlines?!

Thanks Raj
Looks great ,with "GENUINE" zenoahs in blue can't wait to see the red ones.
Like I said, you can take your time, no hurry.

Inlines are something cool and new to me. I'm glad you can up with them.
I came up with a paint scheme for the MTI cat I think will be very hot! I hope!!!

Thanks again, Steve
