This model was designed around the Sea Ram engine and equipped with it; the boat is very fast. Other engines could be used, but if they are, don't expect to get the same sort of performance from them — the Sea Ram is unique in its power output. It would no doubt be possible to fit the model with a glow engine up to .21 cu. in., and anyone wishing to do so should not hesitate. I have not had time to do so myself with the prototype, but have no doubt at all that equipped in this way, the model would remain stable and fast. If a glow engine is used, the inside of the hull must be thoroughly fuel proofed.
