    Acad/solidworks drawings of Donzi/drives

    I have a few projects swirling in my head and I was wondering if anyone had drawings, files, acads, Solid models of outdrives, motors, boats, transoms, steering set-ups, x dimensions, etc that you would like to share with me? I have hundreds I would share back of other things, mostly automotive/motorcycle. This would give a nice head start.
    Thanks -James

    If you do find anything, I would love to see a cad drawing of my Eaton drive...(I'm not going to hold my breath though, LOL).

    BOB~

    CAD drawing did not exist when the Eaton Interceptor drive was built.
    Few running examples are known extant today.
    It's a museum piece.
    I remember I was a small child when I first saw this new-fangled Inboard-outboard .
    It was on a plywood lapstrake Ventnor Sea Skiff made just brefore the famous Ventnor Boatworks finally folded their shop operations.
    Saw a few on plywood Grady-White plywood skiffs also at thus same time period.

    Heck~
    I doubt the paper line drawings still exist ?

    LOL...I know
    I was just hoping that somehow, somewhere there was a student who's college term project was to reverse engineer an ancient Eaton drive and construct a cad drawing. And then I was hoping that student later joined Donzi.net and could send it to me.
    Sorry to hijack James...please excuse my ridiculous fantasy

    No one has any drawings, hand, computer or napkin sketches of any drives, Donzis, etc? I want to do a complete 3d model of a Donzi. I guess I need to bust out the tape measure. Here is an example of what I do as contract work with Solidworks, complete 3d models with working assemblies and blueprint drawings.

    I did a 16 in 3D, no solidworks, other software- it needs a drive

    I have 600SCI side, front, and top view, along with xr drive side view in AutoCad. These are rigging drawings. I also have a small variety of 496 side views and bravo III's. I think on my work computer I have the side view of a 43ZR and NXT side view that I used to build a shipping craddle for the 43.

    Nothing is 3d or solid model.

    Let me know if any of these help.
