I have run a cross refferences to a steam jet outboard. Haven't seen one or
even read a review of one yet, but it sure sounds interesting.

There is another I/O drive that looks interesting. Looks like a ball joing
or soemthing like that where it comes out of the transom and it sticks way
back behind the behing unlike the usual I/O that looks like the lower half
of an outboard. I guess its more of an inboard application that turns
instead of using a rudder.

Anyway. Iwas curious what kinds of unusual drives there were ot there.

Arneson Surface Drives

Saw them on a 50 something express cruiser and they look awesome.

Looks like it would rock for slow speed manuevering, but I bet you could get
some interesting side slip if you jack it around at speed.
