Heya Goldstalker, don't forget I said I would make you one if you can't get one easily. Looking at about $350 for a stainless one though. NUGGY

aw yea mine wil be no good then, its a twin engine setup for the 5.5hp hondas. cost well over a grand to make, gotta have a mixing tank so you dont get burnt and a good filter so the heater dosent block and you dont get sand rash in your wetsuit.
make sure you do it properly, if you have a look on the gold dredge forum there is lots of info on building them and there are also some nasty photos of the outcome from a bad hot water setup in the nevis a year or so ago. OUCH.
