Did it hook and spin at the end due to being a step bottom?

Or did it break a drive?

That sucks. I guess that proves there is no such thing as a perfect drive setup. (Not even a VI!)

If you need a place to start, depending how much money to spend, check out Bonzisports for motors and hardware, aeromarine for the little odds and end things to finish the boat with electronics, or if you wan to spend a lot of money go to MHZusa, there the sky is the limit, if you want No. 6 outdrives for that cat go there lol seriously

Hope this helps the motivation juices!
