Trojan-man

your superboat made it her this morning. It is cold and raining, so I haven't had a chance to dig into her yet, but she got here ahead of schedule

Pat McPherson

That is great she got there.
The cover is not all that waterproof so you might want to cover it with a trap.
The seats and such are in boxes and might get soggy.
I have the receipt for the tires and bearings on the trailer and I'll send it to you. I forgot to put it in the boat.
Did you get the Titles?
Keep us up to date with your project; it helps us Yankees make it through the cold months...

Pat McPherson

Hey Chad,
Get to work, we need progress pictures.
You had me out in the dark in 15° weather strapping those seats to a skid.
Man I'm glad you decided to take the whole boat off my hands.
Now I have room in my driveway for the new rig.

Trojan-man

step 1, remove gimbal and install on new boat == completed

oldschoolfan

no extention box?

Pat McPherson

Nice!
How far below the V is the prop shaft?

Trojan-man

no that was just a pipe dream for me Maybe next year, I just had an idea and wanted to see if anyone had put one on a banana thus far

Trojan-man

we didn't mount the drive, just rolled it up to the transom assembly. How do you measure it, straight edge the bottom of the V out to where the propshaft is and measure 90 degrees straight down ?? My bro said it looked about right, but he is an arneson guy go figure

Trojan-man

it took an act of god to get that transom assembly off your old boat, you must have used 5200 to mount it, lol

Pat McPherson

I think 4200, but maybe 5200, can't remember.

As for the height of the drive:
The X dim is from the crankshaft center to the bottom of the boat. You want to be around 17-1/2" with a standard length drive. This would put the prop 4-1/2 to 5" below the bottom.
I believe this is where you want to set it up to run 3 and 4 blade props.
Give me a call if you want to talk about drive height and props. I've done a lot of testing on similar hulls.
You can also compare to the Super; it was right on the money.
