Outdrive is the original Eaton, but internals were replaced with stronger shafts etc. Scotty Pierce from Cabo marine is helping with his expertise on racing, engines and restoring and it looks even better than the pic now. We ran it this last summer and had a blast...working on things and can't wait for next year.

It flips around for trailering...pretty slick design for 1966. (but at the boat ramp, it's kind of a pain in the *ss)

Donzi 16 in the garage, flat screen on the wall....life is good.

My little Sea-Doo!
This is a blast for running around but also makes a great little fishing and crabbing boat! |

these little cats up for...would love to find one without power, and do it up to match my 25'cat!!!! :drink: |

We love the the Mini Hawk. 29.9mph at the last radar shoot! Maybe one day I will get the 25HP and install the 40HP that I have waiting for it.
