Why did you choose the Aquadrive over the cheaper PythonDrive?

Did you notice a big before/ after difference in both noise and

vibration?

Just noticed that you are probably in UK which may impact pricing.

Here in US, a complete AquaDrive package, including engine mounts and
adapters is probably less than $1,500 USD for most sail boat engines.

Don't suppose you can remember what model/size AquaDrive you have?

PythonDrive for my engine (2.25litre 48BHP@2800) is approx 600USD (converted
from GBP) Probably get one cheaper over there. For complete unit/ adapters
but not engine mounts.

From what I can see in the specs there is not much difference between an
AquaDrive and a PythonDrive.
