Drive options for 73" (185CM) Mystic Cat

[keithbradley]

I'm building a 73" Mystic and need drives somwhere around 200mm long. I like the MHZ BPM drives, but they are only shown as "pre-order" on the MHZ-USA site.
Does anyone have links to some different options? A lot of this stuff is in Germany and it's tough to source...

Here is some Keith https://www.mtc-powerboat.de/index.p...=en&section=13

I have another kind somewhere here.

Found it http://wd200-modellbau.de/?Antriebe%...s:System-Drive And while you are there check the steerable drives.Way cool,not for this app,but way cool.

MTC doesn't really make on that will fit. The drive they have that is long enough won't fit on the transom.
I was looking into the Werner drives...not sure if it's better to go that route or MHZ.

I don't know if you can get HPR's stuff.Perhaps through Manuel.

Keith, just go MHZ Germany direct, may even be cheaper than US. Plus you can save the tax/vat. May have to pay some local duty. Shirley I'm sure will throw you a deal. Plenty stock there, you will have it within a week.

Yeah, I ended up contacting them last night. 100eur for shipping, but still similar in cost to the US site, about $500 for the pair. Hopefully they are pretty sweet for that kind of money!
