Need 11cc nitro motor
 

Okay, I currently am in the process of rebuilding a really nice fiberglass boat. It has a K & B 11cc motor that needs to be replaced. I'm pretyt new to the boat side, but I have flown airplanes and helicopters so it shouldn't be to difficult to pick up. I can't for the life of me find any 11cc nitro motors around for the marine boats. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will post pictures and more information on the boat I am remodeling later this week.

You can find K&B engines at their web site, http://www.mecoa.com
However, if I were looking for a K&B engine, the first place I'd check is with Gary Preusse at G&M models. Gary's been running boats for a long time and when I talked to him a couple weeks ago, to order some stuff, he told me he has a good supply of engines. He would also be able to help you with questions about props, hardware, setup, etc. Since Gary doesn't do email and doesn't have a web site, the only way to reach him is by phone. For a long time I hesitated and didn't want to call. When I finally got over this, I wished I had called him earlier. His number is (630) 279-2451.

I was just looking at the Mecoa website. The 11 CC is listed as in process, meaning any time from 2 to 12 weeks with a price of $450. That seems a little spendy for a K&B, especially since I have a couple already.

How about a MAC? www.cmdracing.com . If I had have to lay out that kind of money for a K&B, I'd rather spend a few more dollars and get a hot engine.
