You should be able to find something used. I bet there are some for sale on either boat trader or on this site.

So just the prop shaft and prop are missing and the skeg and bullet are still intact? I doubt Donnie has any Bravo drives laying around. They are too wimpy for him! Jim would be the one to talk to about any leads on Bravo take-offs...that and start hitting the classifieds here and ebay.

That's why I asked if just the prop/propshaft are missing or the entire lower. If just the prop and propshaft are missing, it most likely is not the result of striking something in the water and therefore insurance will not cover it.

Ouch! WTF. I've seen some big stuff floating around down there before but like I said, the week of the 4th the channel was pretty darn clean. Just Rich's luck this year to hit the only telephone pole floating around in the water. :eek: :(

Thanks Rob, I do appreciate that.
I think I'm just going to work around the shop to get further along that way when I get back from vacation I can get moved in pretty quick. and after this year I am tired of boating already, well just breaking things anyway :( .

Rich.
