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

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.
