Well, i've been looking at QD website and the prices are quite high, the new PIONEER SPORT, a 8 HP 29.5 CC costs $855 with paypal plus accesories plus shipping = more than $1000 for one motor, then we have to calculate the clutch, muffler - exhaust, starter etc. instead 30,5cc costs $ 1,345 plus all = a lot of money, i know you have to pay for the quality but i also have to think about the costs, i spent €1200 just for the hull and the z-drives and € 90 for shipping from Germany. Maybe I'll decide for a QD, but perhaps this will cost me more time, you know...
Ok, the z-drives are up, i mounted at a distance of 80 mm between the axes because of the gearbox, also 80 mm, so everything will be straight.
