Hmmmmmmmm, a prop powered john boat perhaps? I can mount the engine on the rear of the boat, build a rack with a 'keyed' 1" shaft above the engine , mount a clutch and pulley on the shaft, Throttle up, clutch engages and away we go? That is a good idea. For those worried about me taking some kids head off, Don't worry, The prop will be caged. Saftey is my #1 goal in life.:P The owner of the shop I bought it from, said that if I mount the prop directly on the crank shaft, it might stress tha bearings/ case etc. Any input on his thoughts? Feel free to post a free-hand drawing or something. Thanks for all the responses even if some are pretty goofy. Scott

Also, you should put those LED sign strips on it, so that at night it can light up, and say cool stuff.

OK, since there has been no action lately, I will let you all know, that Xpress in in first place so far. Good luck folks. Hmmm, I might be buying a johnboat soon Scott

Well, if you send me two, I will have Vess emblems on it then. I am just trying to figure out what color to paint it. White w/ red tips? Black w/ white tips? I love to spray paint. Any ideas? How about I add a $25 prize to the paint scheme I pick to use on my prop? Let's give that till Oct, 30th. I want to paint my prop soon. Thanks. Scott

Dangit, while on the second page I thought about this... you know the mini motorcycles and mini ATV's like these?







Well... my first thought was for a MINI airboat (kiddy size but adult usable).

But I'm thinking Xpress beat me to it... unless he was thinking full size

Hmmmmmmmm, good question. Let's see here. What about it Express. Was it kiddie size or adult size? Wait! Maybe we can make a backpack version to push little pocket rockets around, yet usable on little red waygons, tricycles, ..............................

If you know any hot air balloon pilots, (I'm licensed but hav'nt flown for 15 yrs.) That setup with a cage mounted on a frame with wheels on the front and some kind of tubing or spikes on the back to dig in to the ground to keep it stationary. That would make an awesome cold inflation fan for a hot air balloon!
