Mine are pretty rare. They came off of one Gentry's cats from the 1980's. I have never seen another set like these. I had new gears made for both sides to get a gear ratio of 1.56 rather than the 1.25 they had. Also had to make new custom prop shafts with a 26 spline- they came with a 23 spline.

Given what you did to those drives they must be worth more than my boat. I know now why your rig performs the way it does.

Here are a couple of shots of mine at the marina.

Rick,

Sharp looking 38 Cigarette !!.....When you get started on the 27 sport throw some pics up.......of course, in the Mag section :thankyouthankyou:

Will do Scippy. Still putting the parts together. Got a trailer and a line on a pair of alphas .

Nice looking Cig. What do you have for power and drives?

I'm running 605 cu in tall decks NA on 91 octane pump gas at 725hp and No 3 drives. Would love to run a pair of drives like your but I don't think it isin the budget.

Nice Flat Deck! These boats are tuff lookin....

That should run real good.

Hi gents. I am pulling the motors next week to freshen everything up. Time to rebuild both short blocks and heads. I think there may a few wet spots in the transom if so I will rebuild that as well if there is in fact water in there. If I do redo the transom I will try and improve on the position of the drives. My question is for the flat deck gurus out there What x dimension works best on these hulls. In other words how far below the hull should one set the prop shaft to make this hull work best. I am not looking for a race set up but something that will give good speed but still able to plane without revving the motors to their death. This hull does not have a notch.
Thanks RG.
