Skater At 50: JAWS Returns
 

The massive 46-foot JAWS Skater hit the water for the first time in eight years at last weekend's St. Clair River Classic in Michigan.

What kind of drives are those?

:food-smiley-007:

In the article...
"Powered by a pair of 1,350 hp motors built by Wesseldyk and equipped with a unique set of SCS Gearbox outdrives built by owner Mike Sage"

Love to see Dave showing up with the Offshore Classics!

Rookie,

I missed the "Outdrives" part of that sentence, and just read the "SGS gearbox"s part.... :rolleyes:

Apparently, that's what Mike Sage does, is build gearboxes for monster HP applications. Interesting.

Thanks. Brad.

that boat is old school cool! i wish we had more coverage of these and way less of the bling and center console boats

Yea same here just seen gear box part.

Good to see Jaws is alive and running. Mark used to keep Jaws race boat and the Jaws pleasure Skater down here in Bonita Springs at my buddies metal shop . I wonder if Mark still has the pleasure Skater it used to be on his lift down here years ago. .

Yep, they were called Sage Drives, that he marketed for a while.
He machines and manufactures drop boxes, transfer cases for 4WD, monster trucks, quick change gears, a quick change gear box for BPM and Arnesons.
Crash boxes for marine also. I think Mercury used/sold his crash boxes at one time.
