I am wanting to build a Gas powered boat. I have a Poulan Wild thing chain saw engine, but I dont know what kind of boat to put it in, or where to get one. I want one about 40 inches to 50 inches. Or if anyone has a boat for sale with out an engine........Thanx

I had a 65" boat with a husky 88cc chainsaw motor on it but it used to be prone to getting water in it because the motor was so heavy. It was real fast when it went but it was hard to control because of the weight and it was a bitch to set up with the electronic throttle thing for the remote control and everything. Its a hobby you have to like to build one and i really dont like it. My father has a r/c submarine but its really old and i dont know if it works and im not about to try it out, hes got 2 planes and a helicopter (helicopter = hard to drive) and I have the boat somewhere.

I have had cars and trucks and now i wanna try something different. I had am E-Maxx but it kept breaking, so i sold it. Its either a boat or hopping up the Tri Z. . . . . .

i had a website saved with tons of boat parts (water cooled heads for chain saws, etc.) and info on how to make them, it may take a day or two but i'll try and find it for ya.
