The freiking massive wake those boats create is the second biggest pain in the rear on the lake here right behind the idiot jetskiers.

No kidding, agreed.

The only think missing from that ad was "Hi. I'm President Obama, and I approve this message."

That and they forgot to add "back up like chit! steer like chit! ride like chit! water over the bow like chit!"
You can pack them full of girls and put a stripper pole on them though... :angry-smiley-038:

V-drives and out drives each have their place. I enjoy my Barron Sprint flat bottom V-drive, but only on a lake that is like glass or very little chop. It is fun and handles well, I am building a 1000hp blown alcohol engine for it to go K racing.

Outdrives are definitely more versatile and I enjoy my Hallett and the Fountain before it, with outdrives. Good for ocean, and rough water, just a different kind of boating.

That video was clearly very biased and inaccurate.

That sounds like fun!

That is the nice thing about those Casale type V-drives - you can put whatever power you want in the boat, and not worry about the drive blowing up.

You got it wrong, just rip the drives off and install V-drives. Think how that thing would handle ripping along at 45 mph!

What I found more interesting, is that my wife would be better looking and thinner if I change to a v-drive, and my kids will be happier. Never thought of that.

does this outdrive make my a$$ look big?

If this thread is so bad, why would you read it and take the time to put your $0.000000000002 in? Other people are enjoying it, even if you aren't. Just move on.

Thankfully, the offshore community did not elect you, with your "look down your nose" attitude, as ambassador. Unbelievable.
