my homemade exhuast

my homemade exhuast

volkswagen surface drive

I soooo been thinking about putting an 90hp aircool volkswagen engine on top of my gator tail frame, any of you guys tinkered with different motors on a surface drive frame? I have tinkered with many different projects from aircooled outboards to homemade godevils to making my own mufflers. I love fabricating, developing and testing. i currently have a gator tail with heads done, carb, filter, and my custome made exhuast, does 30mph but its never good enough for me lol. would like to see pics of your projects and how it worked, i dont have pics of most of my projects but here is a pic of the muffler i built for my gator tail and also another boat i took pics of that i liked, built by a friend of mine, it had an outboard foot in a tunnel drive mud boat with an aircool engine inside.

Boat

Ive never messed with doing any of that but have been trying to help my buddy get his lil airboat running again . He's got a 10ft boat with a two cylinder rotex airplane engine on it . It was having trouble idling but I think we got the kinks worked out . This thing is a small one person airboat but it's a beast !

The carburators and whole motor how it's set up is a total different animal . I'll take a pic of this beast this evening .

Do you know anything about these motors (rotex single engine airplane motors) ? If so I might have a question or two ! Lol
