Here are a few pictures of my progress. I to some West Systems expoxy and thinned it with alcohol so it would be thin enough to seep into the grain of the wood and then put another thinned coat when it got tacky. Once dried over night I sanded and then primed it with sandable filler primer...

David, I am just about in the same situation. I have pieces and parts and trying to make it work, what I dont have I am trying to buy. I just got a 18" hughley flex shaft from http://www.intlwaters.com/index.php?showtopic=38034, Timothy Jones and going to get my turnfin from Mike Hughes...

I am looking for a few items to finish my JAE 45 with: 1-Turn Fin 2-Motor Mounts 3-Flywheel for an OS.46VX-M motor ( I know Tower has this but I would like to keep the cost down.) 4-Exhaust Header for an OS.46VX-M 5-Pipe for a .46 6-Cowling that would fit a JAE45 I don't mind if the...

One more quick question, If a .21 has about an 8oz tank should I double that since this is going to be a .45? I will be using a OS 46VX-M (brand new, not broken in) and would eventually like to start racing. I have never raced before just ran my boats at my son-in-laws dirt track that has a pond...

Thanks all for the help..

So I take it that the motor does get mounted at an angle because you would not be able to get the 1/4" inside the 9/32" too easily, correct?

Chris, this maybe stupid but the 9/32 that is glued in the boat, is this just for going through the bottom or the full length from flywheel to strut? I see on the plans the engine center line but from the side view is the engine mounted parallel to the aft bottom of the tub or parallel to the...

I am in the need of some help. This is my 3rd project on my bench and hopefully will be the first completed in a long time. I have started the JAE45 and need some advice on what to do. I have cut the pieces according to plans and assembled the tub with the assistance of a building board to...

That is awesome! Great Job.......

Great looking boat! A couple questions..... 1 - What are you using to seal the wood with before painting? 2 - What kind of paint are you going to use? 3 - What should I use when putting the frame together? CA or Epoxy? I have heard that CA is the better because it will penetrate the wood...

David, You are 110% correct. I love this hobby. Dick, I PM'ed you.

Alden, No, I did not jam the piston into the sleeve, I believe if something does not fit or look right, ask. I did get replacement bearings from boca bearings, they did not have any problem swapping them out, thanks for the offer. I will try the oven trick tonight and see if that works, if...

Can anybody help with the ID of this engine. I know it is an OS Max .21 Marine engine but what model? I have gone to the OS website and went thru there discontinued engine manual and none of them look like what I have. I would like to know where to get an exhaust manifold for this and what pipe...

I would like to start off by saying I do not have a keen eye or knowledge of marine engines. Sooo, I purchased this engine off ebay and it was supposed to be a Picco 90 ready to go, well it was not. I previously posted about tearing this down and cleaning it but when I ordered bearings from...

Is this still for sale?

Looking at the plans and reading the description on the NE-Stuff blog it references CMD hardware and so do the plans, does anyone have a good supplier of what would be needed for this outrigger? or running hardware that would work with this boat? Thanks Joe

Thanks for the help.

And also when putting back together will after run oil do?

Another stupid newbie question, How do I sererate these 2 parts so I can clean them? This is an OPS 45. Thanks

Thanks Bob, I will have to look them up.
