okay from what i understand it is a .67 size engine but what i am wondering is the crankcase the same size as lets say a .65-90 ...where i am coming from is with 1/8th scale cars you have the small block .12-.20(traxxas3.3) then you have the big blocks .21-.32 what is the various engines i can run in this boat if it is known to run with a .67

here is a old post that i made with alot more pics on it if needed

what is your shopping list of hardware to put on this boat?? i know "top sercret" makes soem good stuff but the boat does not measure enought to be 1/8 size like the miss bud/lumar so i am unsure what to go with ....i know many of you would say to sit it aside and buy a rtr but i like to dive head over heels in a new hobby ( comming from cars/truck for 13 years) and end up with some thing nice that i did from "ground zero" as bush would say! thanks for looking arick

any help would be great ...even if you only how to prep the hull for paint ...i have been eyeing the air age books on how-to's are they that good?

Speedmaster or octura can set you up with some great hardware, engines are pricey, mac 67 ,cmb 67, picco,rossi, os max, k&b,ops are the most used in 1/8 scale note some of those are out of production and parts may be hard to locate, i belive the mac is back in production or will be very soon , that would be my first choice and two cents worth.

PS Iwould loose the original motor mount blocks and get a hummdinger mount from octura.
