I have located a 73 ( approx ) Hondo bubble or T deck , or whatever it is called? The question is how the motor is mounted? It is a small block Chevy mounted foward and the torque tube hooks to the front of the motor. It goes through a Walter machine gear V drive, which I have never seen before, but I haven't seen everthing yet! Any informatiom about the V drive unit other than the web site. The boat appears to be heavy. Is the small block and the v drive kind of a one off deal or cobbled set setup? :confused:

Drive line mounted the front of the motor (balancer), is a circle deal.
Never heard of a "Walter Machine" v-drive. Someone in here should chine in on that.
Need pics. :D

I've never seen one that was not in some kind of big salt water type of boat.
