Post Long tail with reverse.
Does anyone in the good ole USA make a reverse like this?

Search Youtube for.
RABETA COM RÉ

Looks like a small transmission between the motor and the shaft.

I did not look at the video but Go-Devil told me they tested it years ago but it never went to market. As I remember it was on a small engine.

Correct me if Im wrong but wouldnt the prop dig down until it hit the stops on the engine bracket then swamp the transon as it continued to dig deeper into the water, or worse, mud?

As I remember, that's about what Coco said happened. Dragged the transom down.

I got buddy that had one for years!! Big giant steering wheel about 2' diameter to make the motor go up and down you push the console forward and pull it back to put it back down.. The steering was in the front

Never seen one with a steering wheel. Ours steers with a horizontal square foot bar.
