Interesting! I'm guessing they've sealed up the water intakes up on the sides of the gearcase? And what is the stainless braided hose connecting the motors at the back - some sort of water pressure equalization line like they run on the inboard raceboats? I'm guessing there are hull mounted water pickups somewhere supplying water to the motors? The pics leave lots of questions to this unique setup - not to mention the huge setback brackets!

Brackets are apparently Bobs, gear cases have low water pick ups in added nose cones, and the hose is to balance pressure when in turns.

The bracket are bobs (which is suprising, they really do a dance in the rough) but those are not bobs cones.
