Need 84 barefoot drive parts!!

I may have a guy than can straighten mine, but if he can't I will keep you in mind.
Thank you for your time.

Sam, youre correct that the 80-83 Martinique uses the same hull as the 79-90 BFN. I realize that the 86+ Martinique is a different hull (1' longer) but its still a v-hull and shares many design similarities to the direct drive BFN- so it would not surprise me if the same driveline parts were used. The online parts catalogs have been wrong before but thats what they seem to imply. Its just a guess, but I wouldnt be surprised if the small block boats and big block boats used different shaft lengths... the big blocks are quite a bit longer, and the 72c may be a bit longer than the 71c as well... I know the bellhousing in our BFN is within 1/2" of the hull. That 54" shaft is the same length as a 2001 (small block). It would be interesting to know what shaft length the small block BFN's used.

John, be sure to measure carefully... we ended up shortening our 41" shaft by 1-1/2" in order to minimize the strut to prop clearance, so theres a chance a 40" *should* fit on your boat... but we changed around our stringer height, engine mount locations, etc- so ours is bad example to follow. The catalog clearly calls out for a 41" shaft, so be sure a 40" will work before you buy one.

Tim,
The shaft from the 1988 Martinique is 54" X 1". The engine was a 351 PCM. The vee-bottom Martinique made from 1980 - 83 is a different boat entirely, it used, I believe, the same hull as a Barefoot with a different deck.

Big John,
I think the 54" shaft may be too long for your boat, but I have a 40" X 1" tapered one end that may be the one you need. If you need longer than 40" but shorter than 54", it's a simple matter to have the 54" cut to the needed length and a key-way cut in by a machine shop. I want $125 plus shipping for either one

Sam

Ok cool, what's your price?

Thanks Sam57,
I will have to get out my tape measure and see if that will fit.
I have a funny feeling its 1" 1/8 But not sure. 54" sounds about right.
So if it fits what are you looking to get for it?
