There have not been many Cigarettes with shaft/surface drives. Do a search on the Zero Cavity Cigarette, as Doc went to Pulse Drives briefly, and then ripped the whole transom apart to go back to SSM. I think you would be wasting your money. If you want to make your boat "legendary", step up to VI drives. There have only been a handful of straight bottom guns with VI drives, and they all seem to have a following and list of buyers when they come up for sale.

As for would I put KAAMA's on this boat.. No. Just b/c something is cheap doesn't mean it's good.

I was told they were big shaft 4s, but I was told they had 12 hours too.... Turns out they had 3 of 4 bad gear sets and when collabella had them he noticed they were 5s with the larger pins.
Common consensus is the Kammas are junk. I'll just let well enough alone

No, we do not need to use any of the I/O's components in the conversion. Remove and sell it all...

you have a great boat now, use it and enjoy it for what it's worth. you have a nice motor and drive package that will make it worth more than others when the time comes, don't bury yourself in it unless you plan to keep it and if that is the case then do what you like with it. it will always be worth decent money, it's a cigarette top gun! 12-15k on the drive package imo, that is what the buyers are paying for the nice stuff
