Interesting.  Looks like something I would have wanted to play with as a teenager.

Trim cylinders would have held the lower portion on. I've seen a few lower unit housing cracked at Clear Lake, IA but never an upper. That's pretty impressive.

Both trim pins were bent as well, hit so hard the windshield broke.........hmmmmm...........attached is an ad circa 1985 for the Starcraft CSS and CPS boats designed by Art Carlson, we were handling Starcraft at this time, cool boats.
