Can I use a chain saw motor in an RC boat? I got one for cheap this summer at a rummage sale that runs good but there are some parts missing to make a working chain saw thought I would try and make a boat of it

How long have you lived in Byron? My two younger brothers still live there. I went to school there in the early 70's and we still have a place on Meyers lake.

Hi dirtjumper101,
the most sought after engine for our local Super class rc boats.
Watch our 50 cc chain saw in action on this link.

Bring a big enough hull, run some sythetic oil in it, and you're in!:thumbsup::D
