Its got built in hydraulic power steering. The rigging tube is stationary. It does not swing with the motor. It feels really good. The shift & throttle controls are fly-by-wire.
I’d say, not a lot, we only build about 100 boats a year. Glen

Here's a Yanmar 8LV diesel engine w/ 370hp that just showed up. It's waiting for the boat to be finished, which is a 25' Super Sport Drifter. The engine will be spinning a nice Hamilton 213 jet. W/B

My Dad helped me deliver two boats to the shipper today. (Dad is 90yrs. old) I sure am blessed my dad is great. The two boats (17' AK and a 20' Sport Offshore) are going to Burkeshore Marina. They should be there next week. They both have the new 115 Merc 4-stroke (Nice motors). Light and good power. Eric, from Merc and I did a test on both boats Tuesday. I should have their test sheet maybe next week. I will post them when I get them. Glen

David and James recently picked up their new boat! After a few visits to the factory, we came up with a 24' Super Sport Offshore Cuddy model for them, since they wanted lots of cockpit room for fishing, a covered operating area and a place to sleep while exploring the bays and inlets of the Pacific Northwest.
Here's a few pics. W/B
