Found it's called "sexylady"
Funny thing my father in law is a master tall ship model builder. He has built the lady nelson by amati. That's why I picked up on that. He's 81 now and still builds, his boats beautiful. I have bluenose schooner he built for me (big canadian Icon ) at my house.
I got a little more done on the boat now that I have the I/O I had to make a wedge to fit the I/O base to the transom. The transom has quite a angle to it and the prop would be a a funny angle if I did not make this for it. Also the well for the Outboard got in the way so I had to cut it out and will build a hatch to be able to service the unit.
I put the steering boots in side the boat to keep the outside clean looking.

Too bad TFL did not put in a water pick up in the I/O.
That I/O motor is making me drool. What do you think of it? I have a NIB old stock unbuilt graupner b24 (the scale firberglass hull one)that I have been sitting on for years. I've been tossing around the idea of one of those drives instead going with an inline offshore strudder rudder. The I/o motor would be what the b24 ran (except for the inline counter rotating props). I imagine it would not be that fast dues to friction losses etc??
Thoughts?
Randy does the drive have trim adjustments?
Beautiful boat! Is that single battery on one side going to give you a weight shift! Maybe in final trim, run a pack on each side...
have you tested the drive in the water yet?
You got that heat thing right! Burning up here in Tulsa... I got a Prather SS prop to try, but it's like Mars out there...
Nice build :O)
The TFL outdrive is beautiful.
I'm building the same boat, but with 2 TFL outboards. Because of the added weight, I glued a 2 inch kevlar band to the inside of the hull where the molds where glued together. I don't think it's really necessary, but just in case.

Cool boat. Love the outdrive.
Beautiful boat.
