The V-Drive is an old Aeromarine Thouroghbred and they been out of business since the 70's, and they are "super noisy" with the straight cut gears, but it is a decent piece!.. And you don't want to be going 75 the way it's setup unless you want to end up on your a$$!.. |
If this isn't it what do I need to be looking for? |
If you're looking for a hot rod look for an old race boat even if it's a project, at least it will have the right hardware and be setup for speed, it will save you a HUGE amount of money, time and frustration!.. But for a 50-60mph ski boat, this one would make a cool project at a reasonable cost, but even then it all depends on how far you want to take it on the cool factor!... I cut the line at 65mph, after that it becomes a whole different world and there is no cutting corners on anything anymore, been there done that, and it ain't good!...
