FYI, the center of bullet is 2.5" above the bottom of the boat and we were running with neutral trim for this run.

The video is great.... Now we need to do a video in exactly the same spot, once you have sent your drives to us!!!
AS you can clearly see the nose cone and all the skeg see water all the time. Just look at those beautiful Hering propellers gettting such terrible water!!! such a shame.

WCM will be at KEY WEST offshore powerboat races and Poker Run Village in November. We will be displaying a #6 drive and are trying to get an Ilmor Indy drive that are blueprinted so you can see them up close.
Our schedule is getting really busy over the winter with Drive blueprinting and boat setups. If you are thinking about sending your drives to us, please let us know a time frame so we can pencil you in to hold your slot.
I look forward to chatting with you!

Just wanted to ask as I have never heard of anyone doing or talk about Bravo's getting blueprinted. Thoughts & costs or is this not justifiable of gains versus costs. Thanks for your time and all of this info.

Had simular question in pm but no answer.

BUP, we have never worked on a Bravo (one) drive . I honestly believe we could do as much work on it as we do a sport master, but the one big problem we have is the black paint and grinding that off and repainting it. I would really have to sit down and see what the cost would be. Off the top of my head I would say the same as a Sport master. Performance wise, it would definetely help.
I hope this is what you are talking about. The XR sport master was our most popular drive we did 5-6 years ago, but now the NXT and 6 drive has surpassed it.
bwd... Im not sure i received your message, i know my inbox was full the other day and I just emptied it. Please send it to me again and I will respond.
Harp32Wil, im not sure what is under the sentence you copied and pasted, it just has "X" on it.
Guys, im sorry if I havent answered any questions correctly, in a timely fashion or anything else. We are extremely busy at the moment , and I do my best to keep this thread as informative as possible.

Pete will be sending you my drives for my new Skater, it is in paint now, getting it ready for the Miami boat show

Thats great Flight Club. Do you have a timeframe when Pete plans to send them?

Craig

I'll be there next week. I'll let you know

WCM thanks again for the info. So now I know as to why never hearing of a Bravo getting done. Also some info back.

There is a guy who does outboard lower units plus he takes the the factory paint off mid point down from the bullet. He sands it, then primers it with yellow or whatever color you want as in primer.

Finishing off by lightly sanding calling the paint process done. The outboard crowd swears by his work blueprinting, nosecones and the primer work. Forgot what the average increase speed #'s are and his name plus if he's even in business anymore.

The primer job of the outboard lower units did look cool and professionally done from the pics I have seen. Just wanted to pass that on about the painting as you mentioned.

I have always heard that you guys done outstanding work on the 6 drives and others.

Thanks BUP, I appreciate the kind words and info.
Our work is strictly one of performance enhancing. However if the customer wants us to do any custom painting, or finishing we have the capabilities to do so.

So going back and looking for something on a post, I ran across this one about my drives that
WCM blueprinted, just wondering who else got there drive worked on or who has been thinking about it over the winter?

Craig, if you email me pics, I will post them

IMCO blueprinted lower by Wilson Custom Marine

piece of art right there :cool:

In the latest (spring) issue of Sportboat, there's a story by Eric Colby on drive and hull blueprinting in which Wilson Marine was prominently featured. Eric did a great job with it.

Wilson Custom Marine blue printed my IMCO lowers. Ive seen an incredible difference in handling, and without the right props and conditions have noticed a 3mph gain. Craig is a genius, and a really great guy to work with. Next will be prop work and bottom work, and i wouldnt consider going anywhere but to him

When i get better before and after reuslt i plan to post information. The pics Geico posted are no Bull Chit, when i picked up my drives from Craig they looked like that or better.

I have spoken to Craig about doing my props, and will be getting them over to him soon as I get a chance,looking to break that 120mph mark.

After all I read, I can't wait to have Craig do my imco's. It almost breaks my heart to put them together brand new, out of the box, last week, but getting a benchmark first is the way we are going to go. I really want to visit the shop too, to see the process. Very interesting stuff.

Class Act,,,,,,,,,, From OFF guys, thiis group continually give to sport of Powerboat racing..........

Just boxed up my IMCO SCX lowers and shipped today to Wilson!
