If not............................. I should spend a few hours and draw something up on Autocad that bolts up to an existing Bravo, and patent it! Like an ITS with a dropdown in the rear to accomodate a dropdown box, around 6". Connecting to a surface drive! I'm a friggin genious!!! Why hasn't Arnesson thought of this? Just send me the royalties
I'll give you 3 weeks till I draw it up. Then it's all mine,and you'll have to buy it. Just kidding. Make it happen!!! It should have been made years ago! You guys would be beyound rich!!!

Rick

That was an old thought. Problem is you would need a different one for every boat out there as we all know some boats like an X here, some like and X there, some like an X everywhere.

On some boats you would be running the drive mounting below the bottom of the boat so it is far best to do it like I am. Just mount our Standoff Box at the advised height for the transom angle (another variable that presents a problem for a fixed design). The box covers the Bravo cut out so there is no glassing concerns, and it is easy to install.

Once the box is installed the rest is plug and play. The engine is set by this also.

Depends upon how large the notch is. Majority of them need only a slight filler to allow the drive to be mounted at the correct height.

Where would the prop shaft need to be on a 30ft single to be correct Rik ?

Nice pick Gary !! You must have some really long arms. Or did you use your shoe cam from the bar days. LOL
I like the looks of that drive. A surface mini 6. Drysump with a cooler . NICE What prop shaft does it have ? If it surfaces like its designed to do your going to need at least a prop with the diameter of 17. Been their done that with the small diameter. NO GOOD Gary its going to be a long winter of choices !!
