This has just been an awsome post gentlemen. Thank you every one! Mark F. Cheney

My brother and I have heard rumors of $7.00 in Utah for good rat pelts. While that isn't as much as in a good year in the past , it's not too bad if you have a 1,000 or so of them. Mark F. Cheney

Steve, I have shot a lot of black powder shotgun. I have made a fair shre of black powder long guns to. My preference for the over shot cover is a cosmetic coton ball from the cosmetics counter. It is available, is cheap and holds the shot in. It disipates nicely out the barrel. Good...

Dave, Thanks for the weight. And thank you for the plywood comments again. It is all helpfull in constructing the matrice in my head of where I want to go with the design concept. Thank you. Mark C.

Thanks Dave. I am working on a concept boat with my brother the boat builder and trying to get a handle on where we are going with it. I was interested in what that kind of construction weighs in that size, about. Thank you again! Mark F.. Cheney

I may have missed it. About how much will that thing weigh with out a motor? Can you make a sofisticated wild guess? Mark F. Cheney

Mark W, Thanks for the perspective on the math surrounding glib political speach. Mark C.

A 30" bottom is a SKINNY bottom width for a longshaft prop to be swinging around on the stern of. And the more HP that you're swinging around - 13HP- the skinnyer it is, not to mention that load of too many people for that little boat. All of that being said by me and others, the...

The tiller on my rig is adjustable through a wide arc. It is made out of aluminum tubeing and doesn't weigh much. Some people stand, some people sit, so put it where it is comfortable for you. Mark F. Cheney

I bought a copy for my brother of of ebay for my brother for $18.00 delivered Mark F. Cheney

cavitation plate: For what it's worth - I mount the plate so that in the running mode the plate is parallel to the water's surface or close there to. The plate makes it possible for the prop to "fly" just below the surface of the water. This holds the angle of the driveshaft as straight...

James, I believe that the Love Joy UJ is more evpensive than a traditional UJ. I Will get you some part nos. in the morning. I have bought them from more than one vendor. I think that they are available in 5/8 bore. I use an automotive style with needle bearings. Regards, Mark

James, How fast does that prop push you? Are you still useing the 5x4 brass prop? Mark F. Cheney

Ed L. Yes. I had thought that I would have had something welded up by now. I have just been real busy. I do believe that I have solved all of the relavant isuses finally. Although I am welding up a 2.5 HP honda - because I have one. I think that the end product will wind up being a 1.6...

Ed L. I think that you shouldn't have any trouble finding a UJ end yolk with a 5/8"" hole. If you can't let em know and I will talk to my UJ vendor and see if I can't help you with this. Mark F. Cheney

Thank you. You captured the flavor. Thank you! Mark F. Cheney

I have always glued my bandsaw tires on. I have bumped up the HP with a different motor and I push a lot of 2-3" wood through it fast. The tires will not stay on with out the glue. Mark F. Cheney

What absolutely great photos. Thank you. Mark F. Cheney

Dave P. I am presumeing that you are makeing a flight pen for birds to shoot over. Do you raise them just for your own pleasure or is this a commercial venture? I'm envious! Mark F. Cheney

Mark Since your heart is so in it, I have some birch plywood left over from my airplane prop business. It is thick enough for a mini prop. Send me your shipping address and I'll send you a piece big enough for a couple of experiments. Casting out of aluminum isn't so hard. Getting the...
