FILETIME=[EEC62C80:01C58AF6]<br>><br>>Clark,<br>><br>>Before you
start making unthoughtthrough criticisms of my<br>>project with its
choice of the tiny Suzuki 1000cc 3 cylinder,<br>>you have to promise to
actually
read<br>>http://www.charlesumlauf.com/boat.htm<br>><br>>The point
is that the lines of the Titmouse, reproduced in the<br>>the Web page,
with the hull having around 12 degrees of rise,<br>>would easily get up
on plane; no bow wave. The hull speed<br>>of the Titmouse, as you say, is
around 5 knots. On plane, its<br>>a different story. The output of the
Suzuki is no more than<br>>around 35hp max and it would be run at less
than max.<br>><br>>So onlookers would not be amused, they would be
envious.<br>><br>>As for foolish wasting of time, tell me about
it!<br>><br>>Mike<br>><br>>----- Original Message ----- From:

AM<br>>Subject: Re: boat dreaming<br>><br>><br>>Haven't bought a
boat yet, but will only buy one with a good <br>>serviceable diesel,
fixing motors is expensive and a foolish waste <br>>of time. Too many
good boats for sale out there in hurricane season. <br>>Good thing Artie
and Doug didn't sell you a Suzuki, it would have <br>>been much to large
for your boat, that probably had a hull speed of <br>>7 kn. max. You
could have had a nice 4 foot bow wave to amuse

right? Are you going to pull it and <br>>rebuild? Or maybe it doesn't

banger from a Metro from <br>>Artie Osborne to bolt to an engine stand in
my living room, the <br>>engine stand yellow or red from Harbor Freight.
It was to go into my <br>>sailboat after i ripped out the centerboard.
Then the sailboat would <br>>be a power boat. Keep the manual
transmission, extend one of the CV <br>>struts for the drive shaft.
Cooling and exhaust would be <br>>unimaginable difficult but perhaps
doable.<br>><br>>I hit up on Artie, took him to lunch, tried to get
him to part me <br>>out an engine from one or another of his wrecked
Chevy Metros which <br>>he and Doug Breeding<br>>bought at auction
(Tuesday every two weeks). He even took me out <br>>there once and
sneaked me into the auction which is not public, ya <br>>know. But
he/they never came<br>>across on this project. I couldnt make them like
me<br>>so why would they cooperate?<br>><br>>The project is
described in my shaggy dog story at
<br>>http://www.charlesumlauf.com/boat.htm including<br>>technical
details and a black and white picture taken<br>>by subscriber Han Otto of
the boat abuilding in my living room circa <br>>1980.<br>><br>>You
will remember, Clark, that I spoke with you about<br>>15 years ago
regarding surplus Japanese car engines which were sold <br>>in Houston at
that time.<br>><br>>I am glad to hear that you got you a Watkins 27 in
your<br>>back yard.<br>>Mike<br>><br>>----- Original Message
