Cool video, Weismann has had shiftable marine transmissions for 20+ years, and in combination with the duo prop surface drive they offer, I am stunned more race teams are utilizing their technologies.

That's really cool. What race boat is this? Where will it race? Those LS7s sound amazing.

You know it seems a CVT would be even better if there was one designed for boat use.

Anybody know someone with one of these drives on a boat?

this statement is pulled right from Weismann's website. This might explain why you don't see more of these on current race boats??

Unfortunately for any potentially new customers that would like to race in the APBA Offshore LLC, our drives are now "Too Radical" to be allowed on ANY new boats!

Eventhough they are proven faster, safer, more durable and more effiecient than the competiton, "They don't conform to the looks and functions of our competitors."

In other words, our drives are better, therefore they are illegal!
