    Will do Dave, but don't hold your breath, I'm a slow builder. its 17 years since I started the project and although the model was collecting dust for a few years waiting for the Mercruiser drive I expect it will be a couple more years until it is "floating".

    Tks Dave,
    have not had a chance to run it on a boat yet. The short story is that I started a boat project many years back, but it came to an halt as I realized I would never be able to get it fully finished because there was no stern drive available that would fit. With 3D printing I got the idea to make a drive to bring the boat project back to live, and that's where I am right now.

    The only test I have had a chance to make is when I put a hand drill in front of it and dipped it in the kitchen sink. it gave a very good push and almost emptied the sink when I ran the drill at max rpm.

    Well, I guess the answer is Yes, but No. if you buy all the parts in the parts list, print the instructions and put everything in a box you have pretty close to a kit, but no it isn't. Everything fits nicely together and only minor work has to be made to the parts. I would say the hardest part is to spray pain and get the finish right.

    I was in need of a stern drive for a model I am working on so I made this, and have decided to share the possibility with others. for more info and building instructions check here:
