Not a saildrive. That would be about as bad as an inboard diesel. Lower end
always in the water corroding away, needing zincs, needing scraping, right
there for lobster and crab pot leaders to catch, slowing the boat down about
a knot even if not snagged by anything. You should know better. An outboard
on the transom which can be lifted completely out of the water is the ONLY
way to go on a real sailboat. What you have is a motor sailer - not a
sailboat. I'm afraid you'll never experience the joy of a real sailboat at
the rate you're going.


What a dumbass. Only the shaft and prop is in the water. The prop
folds up so there is no drag.

Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
