Well I never thought of it that way but yep. - lol
With that new ceramic coating he's using if the owner were to ever hit a school of fish, turtle or a log I believe the military would classify it as a weapon of mass destruction. No question in my mind who'd win that battle.
The work is flawless and hate to see it go in the water. I thought it looked better on my living room table but my wife begged to differ. lol
Enjoy

common dude!
Wilson does do Bravo Sportmaster drives.
I just received one back from him last week. Beautiful work.
The only thing I wished I would have done different was handed him an assembled gear case. Putting the gear case together now is a nightmare. The edges are RAZOR sharp and I have the cuts to prove it !
The gear case I received also came with what he called a ceramic coating. It is a clear coat that is slippery.
All in all beautiful work.

Funny story. I spent all winta blueprinting my bottom and my sportmaster drives. Got 98.0 on gps. Then all i did was send the drives to wilson. Got them back and ran 96.7. 2 different days and same speed. But the boat did seem to get on plane better.So if you are in so cal . Do ship them all the way to wilson or Just let me do them.

Well here's the pictures as promised of a Wilson Blueprinted Sportmaster. I tried to take pictures that would show the taper and faring (chord) of the skeg as well as other portions of the gearcase Wilson reshaped. Also it looks like the water inlet hole has been welded up, then widened and moved forward. The rear and side edges of the water inlet are razor sharp just as every other edge on the lower gearcase. The ramp entering the water inlet appears parallel to the propshaft. The gearcase was coated wih some sort of clear coat that I was told was ceramic based. It is slippery stuff, so it feels just like a graphite based coating just clear. I was told I could heat the case up enough to install bearings and it wouldn't hurt the coating just not to use an open flame.
Actual in water testing should take place in about a week.

Seriously I have all the edges covered with multiple layers of tape and clear vinyl hose for protection while assembling but gloves are still needed because of its coating. When I did the finish internal wash with soap and water prior to assembly it was like trying to hold a pumpkin seed, its that slippery.
I highly suggest breaking the edges of the case mating surfaces before doing anything. It won't effect performance. If I had done that first I wouldn't have had so many cuts.
My compliments to Mr. Wilsons expertise on obtaining such sharp edge on aluminum, of all metals too.
I'll post again when its been tested. I'm sure my client will be very happy.

I am considering blueprinting the 6 lowers on my DCB. Whom has used Wilson and what was before and after results? Not just top speed. I am actually more interested in cruise speed and acceleration results. I spoke to them and they sound very legitimate and claim great all around results.
Thanks!
Thanks!
