Skater Chris's engine pics
 

Chris's boat is almost ready. Can't wait for a ride. hint-hint!!!!!

I will give you a hint; its a Skater.

Sterling 1500's.

WOW, Look impressive, what size are they going in to? 36? 40?

40


I bet he's getting anxious Mark. Tell him I said hi when you talk to him.

Maybe I have never paid attention before to the belt setup on Sterlings, but notice the blower belt. It does not have cogs or a v setup. I would think that could slip with so little surface area.

Maybe ya get the best of both worlds, when it's hooked up act's like a set of slick drag tires, but if the engine cough's hopefully it slips ???????? Just a guess

A multi v grove belt has twice the surface area to grip and a cog belt will not slip at all. Interesting setup. Beautiful engines.

Thank You, Let's hope they perform as good as they look, maybe one day they will be installed, we know how slow skater works....

Sharp, hey Chris, Tracy here, met U at Dave's hanger in Charlevoix a couple years ago. U gunna have the new 1 up in our neck of the woods again?? Look 4ward 2 check'n it out!!

Chris, lookin good !!!:evilb: You should be done before summer. How far along are they? Got any pics of the boat?

I guess when ya look at it from your perspective that makes a lot of sense having twice the surface area.

Sterling has a record for building some performer's
so they must have there reason's. But it's beyond me.

Sterling is about 20 miles south of me here in Fenton Mich. and I think I heard them dyno those motors 1 day!!!:eek:
