Aldo note: 598cid with 10-71 was powering this drive. Lol.
yeah you’re right. I did know that. He said he used it but could not get the boat on plane because it was a -2 short so he took it off. Another flag that should have been made me walk away from this guy.

yeah, was hoping to have a drive I could just refresh with seals and bearings and run for a couple seasons. I won’t make the mistake twice.

Lesson learned for everyone, at least pull the top cap in these situations.

I brought it to my mechanic and popped off the top cap and steering cap and found rust on bearings, and a gear that was missing a tooth or two. I offer to drive it back to his house and he accused me of switching the drive out with another one. I’m out the $3500, but just letting people know my experience dealing with Dave.

Haha yeah, I should have pulled THAT in front of him. Wonder what story I would have got after that….

Well, in this world there is men of their word where a handshake on a deal is gold and then theres those guys who are little *****ES!

MMatt28 04-12-2022 08:20 AM
Yeah, since he was an OSO guy I gave him benefit of doubt. Stupid move, won’t repeat mistake. It’s pretty embarrassing seeing people act like scum.

Why are you giving him a relatively easy pass ?

What’s his other option?

Knows where he lives. I'd be throwing the drive through a window of his house worth $3500 so net profit is $0!
