Quick Decision,
Actually the jackshaft is not new. Both SeaCraft and Albemarle started using this setup back in the mid/late 70's. As I/O's go, I like this setup because you remove the engine box from the back of the boat and put the weight in the center down low for better stability. You get straight IB stability without the fixed running gear hanging below. Seems like a good idea, not sure why it didn't catch on better.
