Expertise
My experiance is mainly in Ic powered model boats scale and semi scale. size from 2ft to 7ft long using glow plug and petrol engines. But NOT multi boats. I have converted many chainsaw and strimmer engines for this purpose. also designed and built three sizes of model waterjets for model boats.
