    With recommendations like those Kay9 I guess I'll NOT be buying her! might be a bit awkward getting her across the 'pond' to England! to say the least! (ain't got the pennies anyway!!)

    Kay9,

    Got to hand it to you, looking at that photo heading through the ocean swell with the stern wheel buried almost to the shaft, I wouldn't want to be there in that boat. Took a little skill to keep her from broaching. Don't think I'll make an offer, either. :D

    That's why I stick to Brown water, we don't get swells like that!
    I'd still like to know a little more about the drive system, not gonna make an offer, just curious.
