new stainless steel outdrive...

DBD Marine (http://www.dbdmarine.com/specs/index.htm) is based in Australia, and claims to have developed a simplistic, stainless steel outdrive, without any gears in the lower unit. Check it out...

It does look like an interesting unit, it appears to use OEM through hub props. That would be a real plus. Have to keep an eye on this one.

What are the drives made of now? Isnt stainless steel a lot heavier than what they are now?

Got some info sent to me, its $6,500 for the base model rated 260hp gas. It does appear to be high quality.
