    It would be nice to see a scale outboard built using this lower unit. I wonder if there is any possibility of something like that coming in the future?

        These look plenty large on the back of a 40" scarab (Dumas 1429 model). This one I notched the transom on to make the boat seem smaller when running due to one out runner in it, actually did well as a fun running boat. I still have the part I cut out, so i think I will change it back to no notch. The paper mockups show that these would do nicely for a 1/8 scale copy of my 1:1 scale Formula 272. A bit long compared to the Alpha drives, but still really scale looking.

        This is a bit far down the project list, so not going to order a set yet. But wanted to throw this out there for anyone wondering what size hull a pair of these would fit on. 40" or a little bigger seems to work out nicely. Very very nice addition to the drive options!!!!

          Looks nice with twins. I think you put a single on there it would both get lost on the transom and be under-powered.

            They would definitely be perfect in size for the Dumas Scarab 40. I plan on using a pair on a Dumas CF40 as soon as the hull arrives.

            Here they are mounted on my Wellcraft Excalibur Cat and look about right. That hull is 40" as well. Mike

              Scale Hull?

              Love the look of these... anyone know if the OSE will offer a hull with these in the near future? Something scale hopefully...

              Also, twins should counter rotate pretty easily just switching motor direction?

              Looks like a great product once they get the gears figured out...

                Any idea what top speed is on this boat on 3S and 4S?

                  TFL. Please make a larger version of this drive for a 50"+ hull. Better yet, keep it simple and make it a steerable direct drive. Less maintenance for us plus we can run at a higher RPM.

                    I'd just like to know how these drives are working in the real world so far?? I have an old 30" Dumas mono that would look great with the P1 Drive on the back, but i think 3S might be a little boring, but could be fun when the lake it a little to chopped up for the faster boats. Still, i would love to run 4S most of the time with out worrying about the drives reliability!
