Puder,
don't you need a trans with SSM's ? My toy boat barely goes 80 now ,adding a trans would really slow it down ! And docking a single engined boat with a crashbox would be really tough

History repeats itself and as the bravo will soon fade into the shadows as the alpha has and become a stock drive again. A new drive will eventually emerge from a clean sheet and have no common parts to the bravo therefore forcing all of us to once again fill and recut transoms for the new and improved transom plate. Then A new mass produced marine block will have larger bore spacing and a taller deck making higher horsepower avalible to the masses that will break the new drive and we start all over once again. Enjoy 'em while they last!!
The Ironman.

docking witah crash ox can be interesting. I melted a shift cable this season adn basically had a crash box as a result. I had to cut the engine and yell at my friendin ethen engine compartment to shift for me by pulling teh bracket on the exhaust. Then restart the engine. It was interesting to dock. That wa sthe last adventure my boat went on this past season.

Needless to say i HAVE to replace the melted cable.
