Years ago I fitted one [asd 6a] into a 24' panther [popoff of a 24 superboat but with a pad. It had a 454 LS6 450HP in it. I liked it alot. I couldn't break it. I had no problems docking,very fuel efficient I used the prop that Howard sent with the drive. No tabs No handeling problems at speed. Here are the problems I did have. I had to move the engine quite a bit for the transmission and u joint coupler.[Now you can use a standoff box to get the engine back] The boat did ride flat and bow steer in calm water If I was running hard and had to backoff fast the boat would turn hard to the right without notice almost to a spinout. After doing that a few times I learned to steer to the left when backing off. I think they work better as a twin setup. Has any body ever setup a single engine twin drive with a split gear box. I would like to see that. Good luck with your project, just be carefull with the steering thing when backing off the stick fast
