I would actually sell my new jetski to get into one of these alum fish boats and this surface drive...pretty cool !

There's a lot of national parks in Florida Keys where (as I found out) don't allow jet skis to go to, but does allow boats to go to...go figure....this hot little number is allowed though ..

anybody know how the power is transferred from the crank shaft to the prop shat? Is it motorcycle chain or gears or belts?

I would guess belt since it's fairly low HP and quieter.

No Jet skis, but can you use a jet outboard? These rules are crazy. We have a lot of "electric only" lakes in PA, I always wanted to build an electric PWC and rip through them at 50 MPH, while obeying the law.

there is about 3-4 brands of these type of mud motors. not all have reverse. they work very well with a electric jack plate. there is also tons of boat brands who will build you a cc with twins. have seen 4 on a bow fishing barge.

No hover crafts?! that's a scam!

I think those are "Mud Buddys". I ran across them several years ago looking for high-performance Golf Cart Vanguard engine stuff.
