Short shaft nitro foot on -75 Hustler

[Argo]

I found this short shaft Evinrude Hustler model 1975 for sale that only has 3 water holes as the bigger club foot, was there a 3 hole nitro foot?
Doesn't all of the nitro foots have 4 holes for the water?
Are all nitro foots left hand drive?

Another pic of the foot:



Is this a club foot fitted with the shortshaft/gearlinkage from the short shaft?

it's a short shaft large (3 cylinder) case from a 70's era short shaft 70hp. They came with a four spline drive shaft

So this one will not have the fast gearing 15:28 ?
It has the slower 12:29 ?

In my opinion it looks like the bigger 4-1/8" foot not the 3-3/8" foot.

The 15" 75hp models after 1975 all had a 3-3/8" diameter case with the 15:28 ratio and the 20" models all had a 4-1/8" diameter case with the 12:29 ratio.

So this being a 15" 75hp model 1975 engine it must have a changed foot as the original that should have been on this should have been a 3-3/8" diamater case with the fast gearing..

You are correct someone has changed the gear case it will have the 2.42 gearing and is the 4 1/8.

Thanks for your reply, now im only going to make an offer on the engine and midsection, not the gearcase
