I have a like new miss vegas that had a bad super tiger engine in it somehow it had a bent crankshaft so I picked up a os .21 xz-m and thought about putting it in the boat. I was wondering if anyone has installed a .21 using the stock motor mount or do i need to change it . If anyone has a picture of a vegas with a .21 I would appreciate it. If I could find a os cv 18 or another super tiger that would be easiest just cant seem to locate one. Thanks Dave
 
Dave,

A decent 21 will overpower the miss vegas quite easily. I would stick with a .15 or .18 size motor with a little less power. The motor mounts will need to be modified to fit the "big block" crankcase pattern. I don't have any pictures, but years ago a club member did this conversion and the boat would constantly flip.

I was messing with setting it in there the other day and it looks like it would be a lot of modifying to make it work. I would have to cut the bottom of the boat out as well just to get the starter belt on it. I will just have to keep my eye out for a motor.
 
The second issue of the boat (the Miss Vegas) runs very well with a 21.. the miss Vegas Duce (3rd issue)... not so much.. (that boat was designed around lower power).

The Miss Elam was issue one..

What were the changes on the deuce that messed it up?. Is it just boat I should get rid of or is it fixable? I have the deuce.
 
I am going to be setting up a duce with a 21, I will take pics as I go, the duce has built up sponson bottoms, so it get a lot of air under the hull, just need to set it up accordingly

The Duse had a higher tunnel roof and steeper angle of attack. The changes were to take advantage of the lower power of the 18 size "budget motors"
