That's me using the forklift to pull the engines out while parked on the street.

Forklifts....an essential tool for powerboating boating. That's a familiar sight.

HEY CUDA!!
Gotta love those Kaamas!! Hope everything fended ok down there in FL.

Re: Post pictures of your formula!!!
 

So are parts for Kaama drives still available and how reliable are the drives overall???

Re: Post pictures of your formula!!!
 

Chuck 21401....So far I have had my 357 for four seasons. Never a problem with the drives. Change oil every 20-30hrs just because. I had them apart when I first aquired the boat just for curiosity. I repalced the bearings and u-joints only because they were right in front of me. I think I had about $200.00 in over the counter bearings,seals,and u-joints. The boots are expensive about $300.00 per side, available only thru Archer Marine. They are a very simple set up. They claim upwards of 700hp is acceptable. I would think they could handle more than that. No complaints here!!

Like PM said, the parts are over the counter parts other than the case and the boots. I haven't had any trouble with mine at all, other than replacing a boot.

Here's mine...1988 357 SR-1 Built a pair of 500 horse lower compression 454's out of the old 420's with the help of Dennis Moore who helped me with the build sheets. This boat rides like a Caddy. Pro chargers with intercoolers going in this off season :D
