Post Inboard Mud Boat (Rotax)
I have the opportunity to acquire a (Matherne design) at a pretty good price.
I has a behemoth of a engine in it right now (Chevy V8).

I'd like to change it out with something smaller and lighter. Friend of mine suggested a 600-700 Rotax engine.

Has anyone swapped or seen a Rotax inboard boat?

Looking for suggestions.

(Not sure what happened to my other post)

Kirk Matherene use to rig em with the Rotax , but almost all of them caught on fire at some point! And if u have a boat with a v8 then putting a lil motor in it , it will be very under powered
