Hi, Mine I think was 20ft, inboard mercruiser, it originally had a V8 so would of been a bit of a flying machine, I got it without its engine, so bought a rough old boat with a 466 engine and stern drive and swapped them over, went well, except or the first outing when she dropped a valve, split...

It certainly was an adventure, I cant blame the way the Jeep was made, proof of it cant be that bad is its still around!! Its obvious that the rear axle just was not up to the job, talking to a local Gearbox and Axle specialist his comment was when they were new he made a lot of money rebuilding...
