I hate those outrageous prices that they want for a silly 25-35hp
outboard. Especially a four stroke. What does the parts look like
that connect a regular two stroke motor to the bottom end? Meaning
does the two stroke motor have a shaft that inserts into a female end
in the bottom end? Wonder how hard it would to engineer this?
It's done is SE Asia - in particular parts of the Mekong Delta,
Cambodia and Thailand.
A long tube with bearings at either end, a drive shaft, prop on one
end and a B&S engine at the other.
No lower unit required.
Later,
Tom
