Any chance of adding Jet drive to this catagory? pretty much falls under this catagory in my opinion, and beings there are plenty of other sites that run a jet drive only catagory (which we only find modern and newer equipment covered in them) I feel for us old relic worshipers would benifit much from the addition of this coverage to this forum... Thanks in advance... Shake aka Joe

A direct drive has a stationary propeller shaft pushing water past a rudder. Nothing is bolted to or hangs out past the transom. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

A real shame as this thing was a pure knockout. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
