V-drive braces

The bracing on my v-drive box are round rods with rod ends threaded on, instead of normal flat aluminum. They look cool, but I've not seen this type on any other boats. Are these some aftermarket thing, or what? Just wondering. Boat is a 73 Hondo. Heres a pic of the setup taken when I first got the boat before I cleaned anything.

Like Rexone stated, that is very common. You can go to our website, google precisioncraftmarine.com, and look in the v-drive section. I personally will never solid plate a v-drive on these light weight drag boats. They need to move with the boat, or they will break around the ridgid mounting. excuse the website, it is still being worked on.

Like Joe and Rex said, not uncommon at all. Our 89 Canyon had them when we had it built and they were common back then...
