Easiest idea of them all ! I have an outboard motor from 1926 that really puts a strain on it's two stroke ,2 cyl opposed air cooled motor. I have run it at the antique steam, gas, threshing meet at Lynden many times. I have two Vietnam era belly tanks about 21' long... A catamaran with a v8 prop engine? And what's a 'cage'? BTW, not my first rodeo with a prop. At 18 years of age I built this ice craft with a 1 1/2 hp briggs. The police kicked me off the ice with a bullhorn, because of endangerment to all the skaters....,and it was the town's water supply. No gas engines. Sheesh, spoil all the fun.
