if you had a 12 pickle like the rapid craft and you wanted to fun in it and maybe make your pickle hide, launch hard and scare yourself, what motor would bolt to it?
i am thinking tower of power, but there might be something better and lighter.

I think of Rosie Odonnel when I want my pickle to hide. As far as a motor, 90 Yamaha?

getting some good ideas. not sure on the weight if i guessed about 300 lbs. i am leaning to 10hp per foot rule. which would be around 120.
all of these ideas are good if i had a xs merc either the 80 or 85 0r even the 150 i would have to try it.
but the v4 rude sounds good to. if i had unlimited funds i would have a sst 120. but a toy just isnt worth putting that much into.
also need to be able to just put too. the wife does not really like real fast all the time. but i live by the rule if you can't race it why have it.
