    Got this in a large package deal. Looking for any info on who made it, what powered it, what size boat it was for, ect. Thanks.

    Im thinking either a weedeater type or a water cooled nitro two stroke on a pipe. Hehehe.
    Of course I will have to make a mold and lay up a glass hull for this. A good test run if you will before I do any combat hulls.

    Looks like I could just put a coupler on the lower shaft and go brushless on it also. Eliminate the belt drive and the pulleys.

    Also came with a very large flat bottom air boat. Has a four stroke weed eater engine on it. Thing has oil in the crankcase. Cool as all get out if you ask me. Going to try to get it running soon.

    This doesn't look like any of the right scales

    That kind of reminds me of water jet for a kayak.
