Look in the "Database" section of this group.

Its an extremely quiet setup and other duffys that cruise by with inboards, we can actually hear their motors hum! I had the bottom end replaced when I bought the boat the previous owner had it flooded. Quite expensive to repair but its like new and works really well. Makes for quite the trailerable duffy since its not a keel drive unit. Photos in folder labeled "Sparky"
