I believe it was Allez Vite or Warhawk that got the first pair of K drives from Fred Kiekhaefer. Going from memory on that one. Beautiful machines!

WARHAWK had the very first set of K drives installed, mine was built right along side of her but WARHAWK was done before mine.

Dollar Marine was not rigged with #6s from the start? Have video of it not sure if it was 1988 or 89 from freeze Frame.

WARHAWK and AV are both 1989's there sister ships . If J& H now Warhorse is a 1988 it did come with 6's when new.

I remember seeing Warhawk for the first time when it came home from the Apache factory and sitting at Pier 33 in St. Joseph and seeing those #6 drives hanging off the back end...and of course I always remember seeing Allez Vite out on Lake Michigan between St. Joe and Saugatuck somewhere.

She's getting ready for the water again. Bilge just freshened up at Advanced Marine Solutions in Muskegon. T&D just repainted the drive shafts covers and a a saddle tank. Chief/ Precision Power Offshore in Spring Lake Michigan is rerigging her next week.
