As usual, thx guys ! Joe, beleive it or not, I am still looking into the Bravo II drive...

The Bravo III scares me w/ electrolysis, especially since I will be keeping her in the water all the time. What can you tell me about the Mercathode system ? Does it need to be 'plugged in ' to electric when not at use and at the dock or is solely hooked to the boats batteries ?

Lastly, what motor and drive combo would a "351" be ? I know it's a Ford, but what do you guys think of that motor and what drive options are there ? Better than Mercriser/GM ?

As you can see - I'm all over the map - at least, at this point, I know it'll be an i/o !!!
