I love the welded-in homemade surface drive. A million years ago I thought about fabbing one from half of a 4x4 front axle. I doubt my idea is much worse than this one. And I DID use home depot pvc and sewage pipe rubber coupler for half-a$$ thru-hull exhaust. Lasted 2 weeks...

Kinda bummed here - wishing he had two of those drives so I could swap him out. The parasitic loss on that design looks minimal.

No kidding! And you so got taken buying those expensive extension boxes... In his design you just extend the angle iron out another foot and bingo, you have your X deminsion totally customizable.

Crower connecting rods
Crower full race camshaft
Steel corvent crankshaft
Pro Topline Aluminum heads
Bassett headers
Dart Intake
Twin four barrel 750 Edelrock carbs
Morosso oil pan
Full MSD 6m-2 Ignition
Electronic Fuel pump
Casale Crashbox (forward/neutral)
Racing Prop
I know I'm forgetting some things done to the motor. Has 11.5:1 compression, and runs on 110 race fuel. Motor runs very strong. This boat is not for amateurs, only has forward and neutral,no reverse. I am the second owner, bought from original owner who rarely used it, sat in his barn for years. Have original papers from when it was bought, as well as windshield and what not, was told motor has over 30g's invested in it. Boat is just to much for what I need. Looking to sell to get into something not so extreme, will look at trades for other boats or cash offers. May also be willing to split up motor and hull. Will look at offers.

I think we've all overlooked a high quality item on this power package. He also does not mention it in the ad, and I'm sure he's intentionally left it out to use it as a deal closer... It has a nitrous wet system on it!!! Bam, sold.

The drive and rudder setup ain't bad in theory. The execution could be better.

There's stand off boxes, and then there's stand back boxes.....

And.... there's two ways of looking at that

If the guy who built it as a 45 year old self proclaimed master fabricator.... All hope is gone, give Bubba his beer back, no use in holding it for him.

If the guy that built it was a 17 year old kid with nothing to work with but an imagination and the junk behind Grandpa's shed, Give him a few years, proper materials and equipment and that kid is liable to surprise you....
