Hi Ken,
what about using a drive shaft running up to a car rear end with the prop hanging on one end of the axle; maybe even two props for a push/pull arrangement! (: )  BR, Dave McC


   No thanks, even if it didn't add any weight I wouldn't want the fire danger of the engine down in the fiberglass hull and then how would you get airflow around the engine to cool it and where would you put the coolers and where is the exhaust going to go and then what a maintenance nightmare working on the engine down in the hull.
