You'll get a lot more power out of it if you fit a tuned pipe to it. It will be quieter too, depending which one you fit.

Looks like fun! The boats with those type drives I have seen run ran really light and were fast too.

Hi there,

not familiar with that drive system having not seen one. hence my question:- does the drive have a rigid stell shaft between engine and outdrive?

You will probably reconsider once you run it on the water. It is a big difference in speed and effect.
I think the engine can get trouble with the breathing through the thin tube.
