First time out on the lake with it and the thing went fast. I played with it for about 3 tanks until i messed up. The wind started to pick up and i didn't really think anything of it, turned full bore and i fliped the thing over and over about 3 times and just lost my new boat. Talk about a bad day at the lake. Oh well i got it for a hundred so not a huge lose. time to build another. who makes .67 nitro inboard engines now?

No it wouldn't. Each one is built for what it does. You don't need the exact same displacement, so just search the marine sites for one. You can either get water cooled inboard, or outboard.
You might want to 'fish' some more. Lots of valuable parts on board. Pack your next one with styrofoam.
