how much room for an engine to fit in height wise
well ive been working on a custom cat hull design for quite some time and now im working on the canopy. I would like to keep this as scale as possible but i have to leave room for an engine. I want to run either th 260 or a sikk 27 in this particular boat. Does anybody know what the height requirements are for that motor. .. or if there is a shorter motor that i can use to keep the scale size and look to my canopy.

Hello, height of engine measured from where is needed. I would go centreline of crankcase to top of plug cap to get a good idea.

yeah thats what i need to know really. i dont have a motor in my possession. i was hoping someone here knew how tall they are or what the height of the shortest one available is. after i know that i hope to build my canopy with just enough room for it to fit inside.

RE: how much room for an engine to fit in height wise
ok so 7.12 inches. great. How much room is needed for an engine mount? And is there a shorter engine available that puts out the same power? or how much room can be saved by shortening the spark plug?
