If I was looking for a boat
 

This one caught my eye. Looks like a good platform to build upon. I sure loved my '84 272ls.

was on ebay awhile back don't remember if it sold or not

can you get parts for those drives

I do know the rooster tail would be great

As for parts, I bet if you keep your eyes open within a year you could have a reserve pile or full drive at hand reasonably. The add says only 300 hours. I know nothing about Kaama's except they look cool, were state of the art at the time and I always wanted them.
Mike you are right great rooster tails and looks really cool when flying.

Interesting read. If I would have seen this boat when I was looking no question I would have bought it. I LOVED my '84 272 w/Alphas, Flew real nice in rough water and always very predictable. And you don't need a crazy big truck to pull them.

Boat is on power boat swap shop on facebook now.

I think there is a youtube video of a Formula running with Kaama's
