New to me Skater.

Just got these today! Great Service He told me he did the shafts on the Outerlimits XXX boat.
I had them install a slip shaft to allow to vary in lenth from
23 inches to 27 inches.
The actual measurement from #6 flange to Trans Flange
is 24.5
The center CV is what they used coming out of the crashboxes
on the Turbines.
Next is some type of drive shaft Cover/ Protection.
If it snaps it would be bad.

Custom paint valve covers and bell housings.
Long blocks are complete and awaiting the TD
Shaft rockers. While keeping busy I have got the cabin almost complete there will be twin beds and a head.
The beds run with wise so they are seperated by the
bulkheads.
I used Balsa coring for the beds to keep the weight down.
If I had to guess I would say I added maybe 100 to 150
lbs to it.
Randy at Stellings is making the 5 inch tails hopefully
they will be here soon.
Out of all the Skaters I have seen pictures of the only
one that appears to have the same stringer arrangement
in the engine bay is CATORGORY5. The engine rails
and drive mounts are offset by 2 inches. Engines being
wider. The engines will be 1.5 inches lower then the drives.
This will give compound bends to the tailpipes.
