You didn't mention the drive line in the Drift R Cruise that you are
considering buying. A lot of the house boats built in the '60s used the
old Chrysers Drive 90. I spent some time on a friends '67 River Queen
with this drive and it was constant trouble. Plus, the fact that parts
would be almost impossible to get at this point in time.. He took it
into Lake Erie for a weeks vacation and on his return, slammed the keys
on the brokers desk and said, "Sell that @#$%^& boat!!!"

Happy boating
