I've found many outdrives over the years that contain just the final driveshaft, housing and prop. But this is the first entire lower unit. The lack of damage indeed is surprising; the middle driveshaft isn't bent (and still works! Wish I could hook a motor up to it). But looking at this pic, you can see it was held in place by only four bolts, the rear two of which conveniently sheared away and fell out leaving two nice, secure mounting holes.
Pretty sure this happened this year; almost no corrision at all.
