Here are two sets in the classifieds. Again, although parts are getting harder to come by, if you plan ahead and take care of the drives with frequent oil changes, it shouldn't be a bid deal.
What ratio does the boat have?

Re: #4 Speedmasters
If you are looking at a boat with #4's make sure they are large propshaft #4's. If they are not nothing and I mean nothing is available for them. If they are large shafts you can still get bearings and seals but not the gear sets, and run the same prop as a SSM 3A or 5. There is a clean set for sale in the back of the Florida boat trader.
