Well, at the rate I pick up new projects and start them you'll turn blue first if you held your breath. :lol: Honest ask any of the other memebers that know me. :clap:
Right now my biggest project is getting the house finished that I started back in 1997 and told the wife I'd have it done in 7 to 10 years. I'm a bit behind schedule. :coffee:
I do see the light at the end of the tunnel though, but I think it's a freight train, there's a distinctive roar I hear....... or it could be the wife yelling at me again to get going and finish the house. ::)

That looks like a Titan ZG28 to me and is way to much oomph for that little balsa construction. But for a bigger boat I would use the Titan as is will be easier toplace the fuel tank in the boat as they have a carb that will suck up the fuel from down in the tank /// on the webra black head that is not as simple and it will lean out as the fuel level drops.
Bernd:
I wasn't planning on putting it on that boat. I'd build something much bigger. But thanks for the guess as to what that engine might be.
Unfortunaley the boat bug has died for now and all boat items sit idle for the time being. But I'm sure someday that bug will bite again. :D

this may intrest you how a chap does it hear, oh and the camera was 99p plus postage and the size of a key fob, they work great
the hull is a simple springer.

Bernd:
That's neat Peter. Thanks for posting that.
Kinda' :poke: the bug a little. The next step on the boat is scratch building the motor drives. Why, because they are out of one of those battery powered kiddie car's.
Still need to work through a health issue before I can get back full time to all my projects.
Bernd
P.S. Thanks for keeping on :poke: to see how the project is going. :)
