It's a hybrid. Force powerhead mounted inboard with outdrive. These were limited builds by Maxum and Bayliner. Idea was lightweight compact outboard without it sticking up so you get clean look of an inboard. Never caught on, however some builders such as Sea Ray now have big boats (35 ft) using outboards hidden in inboard engine boxes. The benefit is more room for the aft cabin. Also quiter cabin.
