    I am looking for engine mounting and setup information (name, links, pictures) on the small fishing boats used in asia and on rivers that look similar to gondola boats of italy, but are motorized and have the long 6-8 foot drive shaft extending from the top transom mounted engine into the water, and a steering shaft projecting forward from the engine about 5 feet. Thanks.
