What kind of drive?? If your starting from scratch go with a 2" High X Dim (I'd Go 3" but 2 is good for you) and yes thats one he11 of a rough water boat.

Martini
I have a 1980 26' Martini with twin 350 small blocks. Alpha drives, one is counter rotating. Rare i've been told. Sitting on a trailer. Thinking of selling, however not sure of what its worth.
