Larry and gary,<br><br>Thanks for the suggestion
for securing the engine and prop shaft. Where can I
find the equipment, pillowblock and marine thrust?
When I finally get an ida of the set-up and the
prices/products available, I will post it here. I also need to
figure out what size prop I am going to use. It almost
seems that bigger is better when it comes to the prop.
The boat is in the water, and I will pull it in
August. Until then I need to theorize. Does anyone have a
rule of thumb regarding prop size to thrust and
overall speed? Any suggestions on books explaining speed,
thrust, and the size of the boat?<br><br>James
