Have seen the engine I am going to buy. As this is my first petrol engine what running gear do I need for the boat ? is there any pics to show how it is laid out in the boat ? The boat isnt for racing, its just for fun. Is there a site or sites you can recommend for the gear. Many thanks for helping newbie
Snoopy,
you will need, in addition to the engine you have already chosen (good choice BTW):
Petrol tank, drive shaft, propellor, rudder, radio box, radio gear, exhaust (Tuned pipe preferable) & a hull. The fact is there are dozens (or more) of each of the items listed to choose. Might be the best way to decide on a hull, then work out if you are going surface or submerged drive on it.
When you have decided, come back for impartial advice as and when you need it. Most people on here are, in my experience more than happy to help. We do not always agree but you pays your money and takes yer choice.
And Danny - tempted to start burning petrol and leave the alcohol alone? It's a momentous day. Honest, it won't be like the bad old days with the Kwaka's Danny and 6 laps per hour. It's the way forward!!
