Lol- $550 each? Nice drives, but as fun as my blackjack is, I can think of much better boats to spend $1100 on outdrives for hahah. Thanks for the info.

I do agree thuogh that if it were me, I'd have picked a better hull to drop the QD in and twin outdrives on. I don't know what gearbox he used as I couldn't get past the ropes to get any better shots.
The picture was taken back in March at a swap meet/show in Fort Wayne, IN. Yes, the room was almost that dark.
To be honest, I don't know if those were the MH$, Kanellos or the Chinese outdrives.

Should have asked me about this when you had me on the phone yesterday. It is do able. We have had guys do it before with the 25s. You will need the running gear from Aeromarine even if not going with our motors in it. This will help alot on the handling of it. I have a pipe that will fit right in with no mods and still exit out the factory hole. It is a modified V pipe like you guys already used on the boat build you did. It will work with a Zen motor in it also and is a clean setup. The speed when it goes faster will start to have handling problems show up. I know guys who liked the look of the boat so much they fought with it till it worked. May not run or handle like the other boats but they said it was fast and worked.
