The engine is a 1935 Vivian Gas 15 hp.  at 250 rpm  it weighs 1,200 lbs and is hand start.  One mag was stuck on advance and it kicked back on me and tossed me like a rag doll an I was pretty injured.  My wife refused to come with me if it was hand start after that.  Now it is air start ;-)  and installed in my cedar fantail launch 26 feet.  Paddles look cool and accelerate like craze but it would be to slow on a landing craft.  Also the boat would be to wide to transport unless I pull the wheels off.Hank
