25cc Zenoah 260pum modified for 3.9hp and 15,000 RPM with a wet tuned exhaust. It's 2.9hp and 12,000rpm stock. She's probably going top out at 43-45mph. I should have her done sometime this week, I'm awaiting some parts. Wish I had the b*lls to carry it up the stairs and put her in my room. I wish it was white so I can put my got vape sticker on it, but they only had yellow when my dd order it. Yellow with black anodized hardware looks pretty slick though. I'll take a pic of the engine in a bit.


EDIT: Oh and she's bigger than she looks, that's not really a good angle, but the hull alone is 57" and the rudders add about another 7". I fired her up today, and god does that wet tuned exhaust sound good. It is actually a bit throaty and sounds nothing like a dry exhaust, not to mention the wet exhaust looks bad*ss.

I saw this small brushless 27" boat that would almost pop a wheelie and blow over from a start. That was the sweetest electric I've ever seen. Nirto blows, it's such a hassle, I used to have a pro boat shockwave 36 .32 nitro I hated it. Nitro is so expensive now too.

There's a few of those v12 and v8s , but I have yet to see any installed in anything. But I'm more into boats which they just use zenoah bolted inlines, which is a powerhouse. Quickdraw makes a dual, triple, and quad gasser. The quad is around $6k, you can buy a real sized four banger for that kind of dough.
