The really "Old School" boating thread

[2manymustangs]

Bob, I think that Sammons may have a 'full-height' cruiser that he is threatening to make a Whaler out of. I know that Armen had a fairly tall cruiser that he sold to RCL and I look to see if I can find a pic of the two side by side but the one that Sammons got (from RCL's buddy Tim) had to be 4" taller than the tall one that Armen had.

Vdrive? with gear box and engine?

Trying to campare pix of the one Ryan posted, the Elephant Bastard and this brown one. The blue one appears that the cav rod is about at midpoint from the plates to the cap while the white one and brown one look to be about one third from plate to cav rod and two thirds from rod to cap.

Bruce, unsure which boat you are asking about but both Armen's and (now) Sammons' cruisers are both v-drives.

I was asking about this brown cruiser, assuming this is now Sammon's... YOur pic answered the question about Vdrive...

I am going to smack you aside the head next time I see you.
Of course with an engine. A SOHC turning a ditch pump.
