I worked on that with Bill and Anglo when it first hit the shop what a monster!! Kind of cool though when Big Al first saw it he was like a kid with a super cool toy..


Changed my whole opinion on drive line set-ups Now up to this point we always tried to keep near zero drive line angle and Always keeping the faces parallel in that boat ,the front motor the long shaft had about 8 degrees or better of angle to the outboard drive unit as it passed beside the rear engine.
