Craig-That sounds like it was a good set-up minus the joints. There are not too many out there. kerneltugboat- Thanks for the prospective. Your project is going to payoff huge dividends. I am looking forward to hearing about the Labor Day splash! I checked into the Steyr 256 - (Nestor's recommendation), but Inmar Marine only puts those on ski boats?! The Albe 242 is the big diesel/jackshaft producer with a similar size and older hull. They use the D-4 260 with the duoprop outdrive. The Silverhawk should have that set-up.
