Default Destroyed KAAMA Drive

Hi Guys - I'm new to this class of boating and (GOOD NEWS) scored a great deal on a Formula SR1 357 with KAAMA Drives and (BAD NEWS) blew out one of the drives last weekend. A bearing scattered then destruction ensued. I really need help sourcing a drive. The housing was damaged so I need a whole KAAMA drive rather than just parts of it. Thanks for your help in advance. I will offer a reward for information if thats what it takes. Thanks Ardalan 858-213-3112

I sold a bunch of Kaama stuff a while back to Doller Offshore in Fort Lauderdale. You might want to try there. And no reward necessary. It's what this site is all about.

By the way, which 357 Kaama did you buy?

There is a machine shop in Costa Mesa Ca. that use to weld up the housing, and re-machine them. If you are interested, I could check on it.

Dan Archer is a real upstanding guy, by far the highest integrity and skill I have so far come across in dealings with powerboats.
