About the sterndrive, I believe this drive originaly comes from Graupner (G for Graupner), but this compagny doesn't exist anymore, only there sender/receivers survived.
I purchased my Sterndrive with Bauer-Modelle.com.
The driver is from 3drifter-miniatures.de
My original drawings came from Gilberto Penzo in Venice,

I'm building a Venice water taxiboat from scratch.
The hull has been build from triplex covered with mahagoni stripes.
There is still a lot of work to be done, but technics are working and I hope to get here on the water in the comming week.

Chris, Your build looks great as well and I like the way you fitted in out inside. I had to keep it all in the rear engine space so it was all a bit tight. Good fun lining up the drive on the stern unit to get it correct, Cheers Ian

Hi Willem, Looks very good and well put together. Where did you get the driver from as I would one fopr my VWT. I have looked everywhere but to no avail. Regarding Chris's comment about the stern leg. I have used the same one and it siezed up up soon after water trial. When I went to the supplier I was told the warranty doesn't exist due to the Ukrane war as that is where the units were made and the business is no more. Disassembled and rebuilt with lubricant and now it spins freely. but yet to do full sea trial.
Willem keep us posted on your progress. I have attached a couple of photos of mine so far. Cheers Ian

Hi Willem
Looks similar to mine, though mine is the G-Power 150. I struggled to find one small enough as well as my Huntress is at a scale of 1:12 so only 23" long. But this one was fine and I formed a recess in the transom to reduce the impact of the quite large housing. I noticed a year or so back that there was no stock on some of the stern-drives but was hoping they would be re-stocked again but having just looked at the site there are now no stern-drives at all and very few parts. Wishing now I'd bough another unit as a spare. I will have to limit the amount I use this boat and be very careful with it! Chris

Hi Chris,
this Z-drive is realy purchased from Bauer, but I purchased the last available. This was the only available small enough to fit. Unfortunaly they are not produced anymore. I designed and printet a "canopy" to have a more clean look.

Very nice. That looks like a Bauer-Modelle stern-drive? I used their smaller one in my Huntress build and it performs really well.

The vaporetta is a mainstay of transportation on the Grand Canal in Venice. Nice work on an interesting subject.
