Anyone have pics of a savage that's been restored or is in good shape? I need some motivation to get to work.

Hey Xspectator, welcome to C-S. We would like to see some pics of one that even needs some work... There was some questions of whether they were factory models or not until some spec documents were put up on the site...

For one, I'd like to see some pictures of your Savage. I think you might be the only one here with one.

Number of Savage Inboards ever built = 16
Number of Savage Outboards ever built = 26
Number of Jackshafted Inboards = 1 (the MOST rare Seacraft)

Trayder - are the "Savage Inboards" you have there really I/O's?

My neighboring pier bud used to have a jackshafted i/o seacraft.He had problems with the universal joints (I believe that there were 2 "u" joints)but it was a beautiful boat. I don't understand how a straight inboard could be jackshafted /or the reason for one and how it worked at all. Now Albie's (newer models are also jackshafted from the motor which is somewhat forward of the transom connected to the outdrive. Now if Ken had the only jackshafted seacraft made I'm certain he (more than likely has pictures of it, and I will try to get one from him if anyone wants me to) Now maybe the one Trayder is speaking of had a "v" drive or a similar set-up?? Ya'll have me confused now. Craig
