Press Release -- Sterndrive Engineering, Inc.
December 17, 2003

Sterndrive Engineering of Clearwater, Florida announced today that it is
offering brand new complete replacement Mercruiser Alpha One sterndrives for
$1,195 retail. Separately, lower halves retail at $695 and upper halves for
$595.

Greg Pickren, President of Sterndrive Engineering, said, "We have been doing
research, engineering, and design of the drives for over a year at our
company's lake in central Florida. In fact, we have spent over $40,000 on
gasoline alone at our stationary dock verifying performance and durability."

Justin Webb, also of Sterndrive Engineering, added, "Our goal is to change
the industry by encouraging dealers to simply swap out drives rather than
investing time and money repairing old drives. All of the drive's parts
meet OEM specifications and are interchangeable. Another interesting aspect
of our program is that there is no core charge and the customer can keep the
core."

Sterndrive Engineering's replacement drives are totally new and come with a
one year warranty. The company plans to offer Gen II drives in the Fall of
2004 at similar prices. Please call (727) 461-0811 for more information or
email . The company's web site is www.sterndrive.cc.
Dealer pricing is available.
