Grey MTI
At the shootout it looked like Randy Scism was in it, its design looked different in the front. Was it a new design?
|
new 48 race... (although the jotun mti that races in UIM is similiar in size really)
|
As sean stated that was a brand new model that hit the water thur. of the shootout. The front started out the same as all MTI's, but was then cut down, along with the rest of the boat, making the front end look a little different, along with being a foot wider.
|
I think it's the new CMS boat, not positive though.

It resembled a Mystic in the front but was definately an MTI whith the humps at the cockpit, it did look mean!

BIG Motors and 4 speed trannys. Ran beside for a minute in a 36' Skater and you could hear it shift gears right before it walked away from us and we were running 140.

Nice !:ernaehrung004:

Shootout
Didn't Bob & Randy Run 167 Sat = 177 Sun ?

That was a good trans for my old 70 Chevelle SS!
Loud exhaust is a good thing for M22s first through third a bit noisy aint they. The transmisions in the boat are wild just can't say anything about them....I could be MIA.:angry-smiley-038: |
Aren't you already MIA ??

Master In Attitude.:evilb:

Boat is indeed the CMS boat.

Somebody's been talking. Or some real good guess work.

Motors are Merc 1200's. Nothing is visibly altered. Possibly some internal magic, but they are running what appear to be "normal" pulley sizes. Transmissions are very trick and compact air-shifted 4 speed units. Real gears and dogs - no clutches or sissy stuff. Throttles must be wide open in order for upshifting to be enabled. Shifts are allowed via an ignition interrupter that unloads the transmissions, the dog rapidly shifts out of one gear, sensors count pulses until the dog and mating gear are in correct position, and the dog is slammed home into the next gearset as the ignition receives power again. There is only a 4% ratio difference between each of the 4 gearsets. Sounds like a dirtbike shifting. Waaaaaaa...waaaaaaaaaa...waaaaaaaaa...waaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa. Merc Six drives have the skegs cut off and are trimmable, but locked straight. Toe is hydraulically adjustable +/- a few degrees underway. Boat fired up for the first time ever on Thursday before the Shootout. Boat ran well Saturday for first shot out of the box. Boat is probably a little heavier than the Mystic. |

So what is the point of 4 very close ratio gears as compared to 2 or 3 more spaced out gears? Just easier to get from 1 to 4 if you have 2 and 3 in the middle? As compared to a big jump for (what would be) 1 to 4....? Less stress on everything taking more smaller jumps? |

I didn't know the tranny was a secret.
It's not like you can't already HEAR the shifts.. These are "old news" in Europe. As far as ratios, the trans builder says that the first gen units had a "low" first, and much wider ratios, but the racers kept asking for closer and closer gearing. If you baseline your prop pitch at 40", four selections, each a 4% change would give you the effect of having 4 props. 37", 38.4", 40", 41.6" That's pretty significant. I'm a huge fan of the transmissions. I think all boats should have them. With further development and a market for them, these babies would be perfect for pleasure boats, especially when you look at the possible fuel economy benefits. As was mentioned, though, I agree that wider ratios would likely be the norm for pleasure applications. That, and of course, a reverse. mc |
