I don't have much knowledge of them. But I know some people on a local
lake in my area that are still running the old OMC 'stringer' drives
and have since the 70's. The Cobra was an improvement, then the
Super Cobra, then the venture with Volvo/Penta.

Parts are still around for them. You might have already seen this
