Only bottom half of propellor is in the water. Hub and top half of prop are above water. So each prop blade pierces the water surface each revolution. Benefits are much less drag, and a nice rooster tail

Don't lie, you don't know a thing about sex drive. Your idea of having sex is to fondle a deisel engine rocker box.

Sealine have 2 boats with surface drives, the new C39 (which they are an option on) or their S42, which is the same as their S41/43, but with the above mentioned drives;efficiency is much greater than the standard drive, just have to take a look at the baia 48 to know that (1.4mpg at 30kts!)
