great little piece of art, it very well done and performs well.
I am glad you have that in your list now Steven, I am sure Dave is
happy with that as well...

What took so long was that I've been waiting for one place that carried all the parts. I really didnt want to mix and match different manufacturers items to make one outboard unit.
Someone scooped the first one. I will have more in about 1 week.
Steven,
Good deal! That's the unit I've been running on my VS-1. It just plain works. I'll have to post a pic of the skeg done up.
I won '09 season high points in open tunnel at the Emerald City Model Boat club (Eugene, OR) running against the other FE and Nitro boats. It's possibly the best handling lower unit I've tried (I've had most of them).
It's got the best shaft alignment of all the units I've tested. All assembled with motor in place it has no more drag than a really well setup inboard.
The stub shaft is fantastic. It's standard K&B threads and fits the REK lowers as well. I've got one with over 2 seasons on it and it still doesn't wobble.

Thanks for the info Brian. Darin posted that you guys were having good luck with it, so I figured I needed to take a look. When I did I liked it.
I'm also thinking about getting some of the 7.5 legs.
