I had never heard of Navicraft so I checked out their web sight. They're
based in Hong Kong. I would guess it's a Chinese engine of some sort.
Kinda looks like a cross between a Zenoah and a Fuji, but the website
doesn't give a manufacturer. Most Chinese engines are knockoffs of the
Zenoahs, but the quality isn't as good as Zenoah. I also noticed the
engines appear to come with a muffler, but not a tuned pipe. Doug

Hi that motor in them is just a cheep wipper snipper /brush cutter
motor thats been converted to a water cooled motor. i had one ove the
cat hulls with one of those motors in them. thay realy only go prittty
slow probly under 40klmhour or less top speed, not 65.. a stock zenouh
will leave one of those tanding still. after theproblems i had with
carb throtle getting stuck. and the cluch seazing up . idd lony look at
getting one forthe hull . but then somtimes the only good thing on the
hull is the paint.

realy if thay are only say 200. or less then get one . but after you
get one you will end up wanting to put a desent motor into it . like a
zenoah . so idd look at just getting it for the hull if there cheep
anough. or spending your monney on somthing that comes with a goor
qualaty motor. remember if the motor makes the boat go dont you want
one that realy goes . and dosent cost you more tryingto get it to go.
.........im only going from what i have done in the past and not
trying to say if its good or bad....that is up to the idividual
person....
