    with all the tinkering that i have done, i can't believe i never heard of the 3M window weld before. looked it up on the net, I could have really it about 5 years ago. but better late than never.

    yea it is as strong as polyurethane it is really good stuff i figure if it works for my motor mounts i had on my civic then it should worl for mounts on my mini airboat

    I have a tube on hand myself...One thing for sure if you install auto glass with that stuff it lives up to its name and you could end up breaking the glass before you get it back out...It should hold up nicely...If anything it might be too rigid and transmit some vibration through the engine/seat stand compared to a rubber mount...

    Re: hi guys this is bgmcl60's son and im starting my own mini

    I see you have a circle S redrive...Good choice...Did you just get that ??? I bought 3 engine mounts with the standard rubber/urethane mounts fit into them when I built my boat{from Chuck at Airboat pros}...But they're nothing more than EMT with a flare at each end..Very easy to duplicate if needed...All in all I bet yours will hold up better in the long run...
