It'll be fun and I'll do all the work.
My buddy picked this up and brought it to me to hopefully get back going again. I didn't realize it's almost 4' long! What a beast! Proboat 1/8th scale with a Zenoah g26 engine. She's still in decent shape but missing a few things. The rudder was bent(I got it straightened out) and the flex, prop shaft, strut, prop, TX/RX are all M.I.A. I guess it hit something, got taken apart and left in a garage for no telling how many years. She was FULL of mouse poo/nests. Gross! I stripped her down and washed inside and out. Several times... I think she'll polish back up though! This is the first gas boat I've ever worked on and I'm a little unsure of what all is needed to get the drive back going. I have a line on an OEM flex shaft but it looks like using an aftermarket strut is going to be the only option as replacement parts are long gone. Does anyone have experience with this boat or advice on what all we'll need to get?
