HI i just joined your sight and am interested in this as a hobby. I
plan on building a powerboat with my stepson. We live near a pond
where we could have alot of fun running it when boat is complete.The
boat I am trying to build from scratch is the 1980-82 paypack limited
sport hydro with plans I downloaded from this site. but of course I
cant just follow the plans,I want to double the size and add a gas
engine.what options do I have for adding strength to the hull so it can
withstand the punishment of a gas engine.Any help at all would be
greatly appreciated as this is my first project

Thanks Doug, I was wondering that myself. IF a fuel pump from a
snowmobile would work. now looking at my next message from John, in the
picture that is exactly what it looks like. I will try this first.
THANKS guys,again a great help

I think the one in John's post is from Warehouse hobbies and the kit
costs about $30. Doug

Hey cmg,

This is a link to a dude who runs his boats near where I live. It is
one of the cats that has the 4 inline zenoahs.
