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.

I am confused, why is the drive upside down?

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

Here is the drive repainted and in the up position (and we spent lots of time polishing, wiring, restoring and rechroming most of the parts on the boat)

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!!!!
