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 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.
