Like those boats in "The Man With the Golden Gun??" I always liked those

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.

No lower unit required.
