Default Anybody ever converted a lawnmower or dirtbike engine to a inboard shaft and propeller setup?

Hay Ookie can you imagine what that canoe would have done with a 250cc
2 stroke dirt bike engine hooked up, it would have been crazy fun,
that`s what I am hoping to hook up, of coarse with the boat wieghing
more it won`t be as fast but I still figure I should be able to get 30+
mph out of it, I still haven`t located a suitable transmission out of a
wrecked ride on tractor yet but something will turn up. Think I`m going
to run the exhaust through a muffler right into the water and mayby put
the rad or heat exchanger right in the water at the transom to keep it
cool, Bill.
