Bob vs Other drives

I wonder,

what are the main diff. between a bobtail engine and an other drive types let's say with Volvo. I see the price is slightly different, why

Greetz,

Daniel Peeters

I started with a car engine in mind, but now I will be ending up with a real marine engine and drive? If I find one that fits in my budget.

A bobtail engine is an engine without a drive (engine only), hence the price difference.

I think it makes sense.

They allways say there are no dum questions, well this was one. I think I must have seen wrong pictures with wrong data or so....

THX,
