I have a Prather Fun Cruiser with a zenoah 260, and a dual rudder out drive. I just needed some help sorting out some troubled areas. I recently converted this boat to a surface drive and noticed alot of resistance in the flex shaft. It seems to be rubbing up against something really bad but when i tool the shaft out, i saw no immediate problem. I also wanted to know if anyone knew a good painter that could do airbrushing and a base coat. If any of you can paint i would also be more than happy to pay you to paint my boat, i just need tome pics of your work and prices. I may have more questions as the time comes seeing that this is my first gas boat, but not new into the hobby. I will post some pics if someone can tell me how. Thanks everyone for your help and give me any suggestions or ideas that you have.

I also would like to know if there is a way to cool off my exaust while still keeping my set up a dry system. Thanks again

Second question, yes. Warehouse Hobbies just came out with a water cooler for the stock exhaust.
Run your flex cable through until you feel what's binding.

I'll answer one question for him... Painting. Try any local auto guy & they'll hook it up. Who's got the link to the Kandy Shop that we hear so much about? That guy can paint.

ya, thanks for your reply but is it hard to find someone who can airbrush some logos on, or do i need to go to a specific shop that only does airbrushing? Thanks everyone who helps me out.

its not really a bind or a snag, it just seems like theres alot of friction, is this normal.
