Spray Booth Motor - I decided on

[hooterville75]

Hey all, from my original post I had on the Blower Motor I obtained from my father, not knowing anything about it other then it was a Fasco, I decided to purchase a new one. I ended up getting a Marine Bilge Blower Motor. It is 4" intake and 4" exhaust, it's spark proof, ignition protected and blows 240 CFM's. I figured if this still wasn't enough CFM's that I would buy another small Bilge Motor as well. This Bilge motor is brand new so should be what I need. Hoping so anyways lol. Thoughts or concerns about using this motor would be very appreciated. Which style of draft do you recommend I get? A cross draft or a down draft. For either draft, where do you recommend I mount the motor in the booth. The booth measures a total of 30" tall. It starts with a 9 1/2" storage compartment (which can be knocked out eliminating the tiny lil storage area) at the bottom, then 20 3/4" working area. It is 24 1/2" wide and 19" deep. I imagine that this topic has been discussed prior many times but I searched through the first few pages of the various threads and was unable to find the info I was looking for. So I hope Cadalliac Pat will give me some leniency with asking this question because it is a honest question, looking for some honest answers so I can do things properly when building my spray booth to have a quality running spray booth. Thanks in advance to everyone for advice, and any concerns etc.

Here is a photo of the Bilge Motor I obtained and some facts about it that were listed with the item description when I purchased it from Evilbay.

I don't really have much leniency available Hooter, except for our Canine Americans.

Like you said, this subject has been discussed many times here.

Just look through back pages and there's lots of dialogue.
