Clup prop

The electric fan you'll need to run to keep the engine cool will eat up a
lot of your profit.

Not a half bad idea, until you do the math. At 180 HP at the prop
you're
talking 134 kilowatts of power. That's probably _only_ 120 kilowatts if
the
generator is 90% efficient. (Actually, I hope it is better than that,
because
the leftover watts go into heating the generator!) It seems to me that
a
generator capable of handling that size power conversion would be
expensive to
rent...

Split the profit with the generator owner. If you cook the books right,
there won't be any money left over for him - you know, like Hollywood
studios do when they make a percentage deal with a star.
