Drives with Belts
In looking through yachtworld, a strange drive system caught my eye.

It was a set of v-belts. The pully for the engine was smaller than the pully for the prop shaft. It also seems to allow the engine to be lower in the vessel. The listing claimed a 50 hp Perkins.

Is that typical? It seems strange and undersized for me.
