Na. Havnt touched it this trip back yet
I have 3x 215 hp 4 stroke packages coming but bit overkill for this size I think
Now your talking, selling any of the 215s?
Prob 1 or 2. Have 4 :)
does it make ya nuts tighten spanners,actually if you painted it a dark brown and called it lab i reckon it would be a bloody excellent gundog.if it gets off its gunga like most jets from the time the shot is fired ya should be right under the falling duck to land it in the engine bay ,and small enough for irrigation ponds matey!
There are a number of small ponds with its name on apparently lol
Worse. Much worse. When you get home, slap the cook on the arse, kick the dog. Walk past the gun cabinet it's time to climb on yet another plane and back to work.
Are you up at the island @Spanners ?
Fuck that. I don't live in a prison camp.
Offshore construction vessels is my lark
Seeing as I have no idea about engines, if I buy a EJ20 to go in a boat and supply a Scott 752 unit do they need to be "tuned" before I could use it?
Would depend on what blades are in the pump. I'm not a EJ fan. Number of reasons. Heaps of better options IMO
I've got no idea, have a few people to ask but thought I would get a rough idea here first. I have the unit but hull and engine are still up in the air.
My take, and that's only what it is...
The crank centreline is reasonably high, the headers coming out the bottom sucks and a pain to water cool and the oil filter location
In saying that heaps of cabbage cutter engines have been used in boats.
There are a couple of newer Toyota and Nissan engines that would be higher up my list
Many people use bike engines?
Nope
Can do it but lot of work , better to use ski or car engine
Pipe laying?
I just sign their paperwork, make sure the lights are on and point the finger to someone to make sure the noisy things in the bottom of the ship work :)
Selling any of the motors yet spanners?
Have 3 waiting in wellie for when I arrive back from Alaska
Have a low hour 215 horsepower fresh water engine available
Price? And what's included?
Motor loom ecu jetpump header tank bottle
44.x hrs. Fresh water.
Pump prop and wear ring like new.
Attachment 40675
Any things possible, but it'd be like a blown V8 in a mini
130 would be heaps in a 3.3. 215 is excessive to say the least.
I did have intentions to build a couple but have 1000 1/2 finished projects already.
There are guys building hulls for nix almost. I won't build my next hull, will just finish it off.
I'm just going to focus on intake pump and nozzle projects for now and maybe some wiring harness conversions
whats happening to the hull is it for sale?
Steering cable due next week. Battery to mount and dash harness to lengthen, cover seats, make intake grate and its away.

Any update @Spanners? I had a look at a 3m WattsCraft today in his workshop. Pretty keen to get a kit he had there built up, then work away at fitting it out.
Got two 3.76m wattcraft hulls with kawasaki 15F. Henry is good to deal with.
Yeh he seemed a good bugger to talk to. I wasted an hour of his time today sussing out options. He's got a 3m kit there he'll do a good deal on if he builds the bare hull for me. Just trying to decide what motor to chuck in.
This one :)
Did you manage to complete?
Looks like it's for sale and it never hit the water??

I’ve got another small boat with 80hp. It’s spent a lot of time down the Arawhata [emoji41]
110hp is heaps in a wee boat.
Simply don’t have time to finish this one so it needs to go as in a mates workshop.
