RC Gas boat engine help


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I am looking at building a gas thunderboat. I can't justify $250 exchange to get the big one, and have been considering a smaller boat. I have no interest in electric or nitro. I would appreciate input for a gas engine. I am thinking around 15cc, but haven't found a water jacket engine that size yet. I would consider adding CDI ignition to a nitro water cooled engine, but I'm pretty sure I have to add a fuel pump or carb with pump and I haven't found many nitros that size. I have a lathe and mill, so I could make a water jacket for a gaser, which may be the way I have to go. Anyone that can help?

The engine I have found:

So, I got the NGH 9cc. I ran it on test and couldn't get it dialed in, so when I made the water jacket, I installed a Walbro carb. Should work good and I can use the NGH fuel pump as a water pump.

Ordered ebay shovelnose, but it isn't tall enough for the engine, so will be looking for something different. Anyone have a nitro Cen Wave Shark?
