And there are people driving old muscle cars, old pickup trucks and old motorcycles, maybe they should retire all of those also because they are old!

I have a VHS tape lying around somewhere of I'CE's kaama 33' Sutphen running...I've been meaning to convert it for a while now. I'll post the link when I get around to it.

Took Merc 6 designs (SSMVI) to get their drives to do what Kaama did years ago!:rolleyes:
They're not old technology, they were just too far ahead of their time for the market.

Thanks everyone. I know there are tons of arneson videos but was looking for Kaama specific. Cool videos!

Curious, are you expecting to see a difference between a boat running a Kaama or Arneson outdrive?

Maybe? I have noticed that arneson's seem to throw water higher and further. Maybe it's because they are spinning bigger wheels or maybe they can trim further out of the water? This is why I was looking for Kaama specifc so I could compare.

502ss Length is the culprit. Kaamas are I believe 32/12 or 33 inches off the transom where Arnesons are longer. I had BIG wheels and the roost was shorter in height but went further back.
