[quote=Bw6 ] Hi Beeman, I've looking at that Princess Auto 10 hp diesel engine for quite a while $599.00 great price. 10 hp @ 3600 rpm, 1" keyed shaft, air cooled, 4 stroke, 110 lbs. My investigation showed that is would be equal to a 14 hp. gas engine in performance. I understand that it is a copy of the famous Yanmar engine. Here is a link to a guy that put it in a Geo Metro.

Bw6 ,
I had my doubts that this little 10 hp diesel could be of much use in an amphib that weighs 900-1000 pounds , but , after reading all the imformation on the conversion in the Geo Metro , I,m a BIG believer now !
If you are not into speed , but , into low speed mud slogging , this diesel motor would make an exellent choice !
