I have a mint one that looks like it has never been on a boat.

They run very well, but as yet I have not put it on a boat.

They have a dinky little engine and carb, but the prop looks like a food processor.

I would grab a featherweigth first, or a pilot.

Its just another JAP engined motor, like the Seabee.
As the prop only deflects the water, it is pretty useless and it's more for a leisurely trolling, but with an air-cooled screaming in your ear-hole, not unlike the ILO Warrenjet that pushes water out of a tube and uses a lawnmower engine.
