    Deep V hull with V-drive

    I have a 26' Livesay that I am repowering from 454 to 8.1 Vortec. The other reason is the Trailering set up. With a really deep V and single Screw you have to have the boat really set up high on the trailer to clear all the running gear. I know that my boat will draft over 3.5 ft. No forgiveness in shallow water. Just saying.

    Surfury by Renato "Sunny" Levy for the Gardner's brother.
    V drive in between the two engine positioned in line.
    The best motor boat ever designed IMHO
