Top man Roofer. You had any problems with yours? looks a nice engine is it a private seller or company?

what prop are you running on that?

 

[roofer]

the guy owns a conservatory company,haven't used mine yet still waiting for it to be rigged out. ive seen both engines with heads off and there's no wear to bores, i will be using a worked 25 chopper prop on mine.

 

[roofer]

forgot to add both engines ran 117 mph on a 26 foot cat at windermere speed week.

 

[Taz]

sod that. did u knock him down a bit or pay 4500? are they 280hp standard?

 

[roofer]
