  1. The Delta Hawk two stroke diesel is an amazing engine. I’m sure too small for the SeaBee but the idea should be considered. The Zoche two stroke diesel from Germany is better still** but sadly the project ran out of money for homologation. ** 2.5 litre four cylinder 150 bhp or 5 litre eight cylinder 300 bhp. Zoche had a turbo blower driven by a ring gear which doubled as starter motor. It also had a normal turbo for charge air boosting. As with Delta Hawk there are no valves to seize, no fussy spark plugs, no carburettors and it runs on jet fuel.

  2. The FAA will kill it. They like 1940s engines and 1940s construction methods.
