    Wow - those outboards are a work of art - nice one. You could build a Mercury fishing boat like this around it if it starts

    Similar here. I built a hydroplane in my teens from plans and fitted a 1.5 cc DC diesel motor to it with about 5" propeller - it went fast across Roundhay Park lake with no control but a straight line. I had to catch it before hitting the opp bank. Starting these engines was an art form - glowplugs alot easier. I have a Cox 0.75 MIB ready for fitting to a Spitfire still after all these years but am more inclined to build an RAF gunboat or MTB now with electric motor
