    Ok so I decided to take out the engine and see if it works. I swapped the pull cord with the one I have from the new Zenoah (see other listing)

    I put a few drops of fuel (i had some fuel premixed for from my chainsaw) in the carb, put some fuel in the fuel tank and pulled the cord a few times. It spun but didn't start. Added some more fuel to the carb and got it almost started. Then I held the throttle open a bit and it ran for about 3-5 seconds. Didn't want to try anymore because I was banging up my fingers (I didnt have it mounted). The whole process took about 7-10 minutes.

    When it was running it wasn't connected to the fuel tank so it only used up what was in the carb. I thought it sounded good but only thing I have it to compare to are my trimmer and chainsaw.

    Hopefully this gives interested parties some comfort.

      I'll give you $40 for the pipe if you decide to part it out.

        The engine has been removed from this listing.


        I'd really like to sell the outrigger without the engine. Will sell it for $125 picked up in north jersey .

              The used one doesn't but the new one I posted on your other threads does.

              I also found another one that doesn't either but it's incomplete (no header), I'd sell it for $25 shipped.

                  It could be made into a decent rigger with wider boom tubes and get rid of that plastic tank install a 250ml bag , hardware Change , odds&ends . I got a engine or 2 that would push it with some nice speed. Mod 29.5 ZENOAH , Hotpipe and a 2918/2 should do the trick . Looking at this I'd like to work out something just to have a project . What's your price shipped to 29540? And exactly what does it come with? And do you see any indacation of who it's made/built by? Maybe all this is in the post and I missed it so I'll go back and read some more and see if I can find out what it is . Thanks. Also could you post pic of the bottom and do you have the engine mounts for it . It could be many kinds of engine mounts and I'd like to know for the simple reason it would bolt right back up with the mounts it was built with . And last thing could you ask the guy you bought it from what kind of rigged is it ( vendor/builder) thanks again

                    All that is included is in the pictures, I had taken out the JG engine ( found out that I had my engines mixed up) and listed it on eBay. Regarding who built it, I really can't find anything. I picked this up from a guy who was out of the hobby for a few years and finally decided to sell his stuff. I was told that it was custom built and that it wasn't cheap but didn't get any paperwork with it.

                    Regarding shipping it, I wasn't planning on shipping due to the size. My biggest concern is packing it right so the guys in brown don't destroy it.

                    If you aren't in a hurry I can hunt for the right size box and get back to you on a price. I figure the shipping itself will be about $30 but I might have to get a decent amount of packaging to protect it so I'm not 100% sure of final cost.

                      Regarding the engine mounts, I actually included then with my ebay listing of the JG engine and there is a bid on it so I can't take them out of it now. Sorry about that.

                      I can get you some pictures later today of the underside.

                      I actually emailed the persone who sold me it for the manufacturer info, let's see what they say.

                        Should be able to easily pull the sponsons off and that will really cut down on size of the box. I wouldn't ever suggest shipping a rigger with sponsons attached !! Also I've shipped maybe 7 boats in the last 2 yrs and always used USPS !!! NEVER BROWN OR FEDX!!! USPS is much cheaper and they take good care of there post ! But your right should be around $30-$40 for shipping . So you don't have the engine with the mounts that this boat was set for ? And I'll look into who makes this rigger . Could be a kit boat from online planes or a gforce witch it looks like to me. Please post pic of the bottom and I'll go from there . I'm in fl at the moment and we are heading to new Orleans to work this storm ( I build power lines ) so I'm not sure when I'll be back but I'm guessing a week or 2 maybe longer maybe less. I could still buy it and have you ship it toy home in sc after I do more research in it and we will go from there . Thanks for your time. And if you happens to get time to speak with the original owner I'm sure he could tell you what it is . Also looks like it needs to be sealed or needs more sealant (west system) but maybe not . So no cowl , no covers for openings , no cable, no other parts but what's in the pics?? Thanks very much for your time . Hears a pic of the new Blazer rigger that will be out as a kit in a month or less . I've got my name on this list !!' Brian has done 6 yrs of R&D just on this one boat with many changes and it's been gps at 87.7 mph in HEAT RACE TRIME!!! In race water !!! WOW this will be the rigger to beat in up and coming races next year . Also G10 Hurrican riggers come 90% complete new for $600 shipped and it's also a option for many racers but I only run SAW so just a little history on gas riggers happenings at the moment.

                          Now I finally understand what you mean by cowl, sorry but I don't have that.

                          Spoke to the previous owner and he told me it was custom made by someone in jersey. He paid $800 for it, seeing how nice the underside looks I believe it. No other details though.

                          Here are some pics:









                          Regarding shipping this. I can have my fiancé take it to work and her shipping department will package it up for me but I'd have to do it soon. The ups store would charge me about $20 just to box and protect it.

                            The price has been dropped and better pictures added.
