snip As far as I am concerned a saildrive unit is essentially an outboard with more negatives. Like what? The newer saildrives are great. Less trouble, more efficient, and neater installation, than a conventional inboard.... you can put both the engine weight and the prop in more advantageous locations. The advantages of an outboard are 1- cost 2- winter storage in your closet 3- service by removing it to the shop 4- maneuverability (*if* the installation is such that the helmsman can swivel it) Saildrive issues link: http://www.cruisersforum.com/showthr... threadid=1666 |
