What boat to buy or build

[buzzfuzz]

I have an old Allyn .049 Outboard that I want to put a boat under. I am a newbie from Florida getting back into RC stuff after 35 years or so.... eeek. At any rate, I need to understand what boats went with these engines? are they avalible to buy... can I build a wood kit?? I guess a runabout type boat would go with the outboard? Any suggestions? Also, looking for a propeller... my puppy ate mine. Seriously, new puppy I think... ate it... at the very least, she bumped it, took it and hid it somewhere? It was off for cleanng and detailing... damn dog.... Let me know if you guys have a souce for a prop for this old vintage engine.

You may want to keep it as a 'collectors item'... :eek:

That is a neat looking little engine!

You might be limited on where you can use it though... the rules at many public ponds "frown" on that type... :(
