What you got in mind as far as engine and hardware?

Just a recommendation.... Look into the stinger drive from Big Tee Racing,trim tabs from MHZ Germany and rudder from Speedmaster (or Gizmo). The Big Tee Drive which I now use is around 6" from transom to end of stinger without shaft installed but i use a 4" standoff Speedmaster rudder to keep it closer to hull and out if the way if prop.

I have a 65" Popeye that has been a slow work in progress for a few years now. I was always leaning toward huge power and have an S6 on the back. Personally I agree with the stinger recommendation above. Will make for a clean reliable driveline.

Do post some pics of your work in progress!!
