SSmike what is the handle looking thing in the picture of the v-drive? It is not the shift handle but the thing on the right stringer.Just in front and to the right of the fire extinguisher. And where is that prop release? :p

As for the prop release, I NEED to send you those left hand dogs and exchange for the right hand ones.....then cut the shaft and I'm ready!!!

SSMike,
You da man!!!. The boat looks awsome. Can't wait to go for a ride on new years.
I have been so buisy with work, I have not even worked on mine for a while (Go ahead Sangster). I am actually getting a bit down about it. Since I bought the project, The funding situation has changed a little. It may be a little longer before it's in the water. Seing yours almost done is definatly some motivation though.
Thanks for posting the pic's. Look's great.
Sangster,
I will supply the kegger, No need for ice. it has been as low as 18 deg. at the house the last couple of nights.
Morg.
P.S. Saw that uncle Timmy went a couple of rounds in Phx. Would have loved to se it. LOL
SSMike,
What's up with the fuel tank, The sump is on the wrong side? :confused: :confused: :confused:
You have been hang'n out with to many of those straight line guys. Stay away from the dark side.
Darth -" Luke I'm you father" Luke -"But your a Dick!!!"
:p :p :p

So I'm guessing the difference is the mounting, instead of recess mounting to the bottom of the hull, The drop through mounts to the brackets inside the hull. The v-drive placement & prop. shaft determine the height & angle, Which ounce installed essentially becomes non-adjustable.
