It makes Pro-Drive very proud to have been the first in the industry to bring you a shallow water motor with the following features: · Surface Drive Propeller · Neutral · A Gear Driven Lower Unit · A Reduced Propeller to Engine RPM Ratio · An Adjustable Trim and Tilt on the Fly Both Manually and Electrically · A Twist Grip Throttle Control which Eliminates The Need of a Cable · Ease of Operating from a Seated or Standing Position. · Units with Remote Steering & Power Trim Capabilities At Pro-Drive we will strive to continue to set the wave of the future by bringing you quality products that are easy to operate, dependable and durable. By building and using high quality parts along with the superior Kohler engines, one can see that our commitment to excellence is second to none. With that said, Pro-Drive would like add to its family of quality by introducing you to our X Series Boats. Located in Loreauville, LA, the home of Pro-Drive, there are three major manufacturers of large aluminum work boats and custom yachts who ship their vessels to ports around the world. For over 16 years, we, as a machine shop, have been assisting these same manufacturers by building parts for their boats ranging from 50' to 180' vessels. With this experience and the ability to tap into many resources, as well as, our own, we are pleased to offer you our “X” Series boats which are high quality, lifetime boats, built for Pro-Drive Motors and/or small outboard applications. All of our boats are handcrafted custom welded aluminum boats and are as all Pro-Drive motors are . . . “Built Tough! Built for Life!” Website by Infinitas Design Update 2008.08.20
