My V-drive is heavier then yours.



What you all are looking at is a 1967 Casale, C-1000 out of my race boat. All 64lbs of it. Makes my HallCraft in my Biesemeyer look like a paper weight. It is basically a (aluminum) V Drive but the bottom shaft that connects to the prop shaft actually goes all the way through the V Drive and out the back side to connect to another motor. That motor is basically a direct drive and the second motor is attached to the top shaft of the V Drive like a normal set up. Two motors into one V Drive to one prop. Saved about 4 to 6 mph from running a second set of running gear.

Do you know where to get two more of those? Don't need the two motor option though. Used of course.

Different world back then. Like Nascar today. Spend, build and do anything that will give you the tiniest advantage. One prop instead of two with the same power...advantage. Especially when you go 250 miles that way and another 250 back.
