Very nice....:drink:

Re: Painted drive pics
 

As I used to tell my brother when he owned that boat.......A Roll of lifesavers shoved up Barneys Azz!! The motors were purple :cool:

Re: Painted drive pics
 

:D

i think they look cool on his boat because of the overall piant scheme.
ill most likely go with one color and polished lowers. Purple maybe :evilb:

Re: Painted drive pics
 

That sounds cool!! :cool: Purple is my favorite color, lime green is my accent color. As per my grab handles......

Re: Painted drive pics
 

niceeeee :cool:

Re: Painted drive pics
 

Here are our painted drives. I am sorry, but I have no idea what kind of paint was used because it was done by a previous owner.

Re: Painted drive pics
 

Hey Hot Duck....Stack that wood will ya!! If you add me to the Apache crew, I'll stack it for ya!! :D

Re: Painted drive pics
 

I went with the more common color :drink:

Re: Painted drive pics
 

These pics were taken the same day that the wood was dumped there. It is all stacked in 3 nice, neat rows now! :D Any time you want to be part of the Apache crew, just get to Ocean City and we'll run it. Oops, can we say the "A" word on this thread? :D

Re: Painted drive pics
 

Lets see pics of the wood now. :D

US1 What the hell is in that drain pan!! It's full!!

Re: Painted drive pics
 

US1,
I love that engine/drive stand. Is that head available separately??

Re: Painted drive pics
 

Full? naw. Thats the top of the pan. It's ONE BIG FUNNEL.
:D

Re: Painted drive pics
 

Now thats cool!! I need to get me one of those!! :cool:

Re: Painted drive pics
 

Thanks
Yep. Made the contraption myself.
The above picture has no height adj. provisions. Made it for my use. But figured can't stop there, let's make it for any boat with Lathem type steering. Hence.........
the following picture that shows the intermediate mount for various heights. The red ruler is were the oriignal engine stand shaft is when bolted to it.

The large angle plate bolts to the engine stand mount where the 4 'arms??' bolt to. By spining that plate, it allows for 20" of height adjustment to match any boat. The drive mount itself then turns inside the intermediate mount to keep the drive always verticle. Used it on several boats and works great. I can also unbolt the top mount from the angle plate and bolt that to a work bench if desired. Just can't remove the 3 screws that hold the rear drive cover on. :p Kinda 3 units in 1
Takes about 5 seconds to hook up. Hold the mount in location, drop in the 2 steering ram bolts and slip in the 1 rear trim cylinder stud. No nuts needed as the weight of the drive keeps the bolts in place.

It is too dark out there right now to get a picture, but I'll see what I can do for ya tomorrow. :D

Re: Painted drive pics

Re: Painted drive pics
 

2 sons lots of mothers. I never had luck with clear coat.The only time this boat
seen the trailer was going to a poker run out of town.I live on the water and kept
it in the boat hoist most of the time.My baby has a new owner boat less for awhile.
THANKS

try to imagine hp blue drives hanging off the back in this pic.

Re: Painted drive pics
