The boat is located in Easton IL north of Springfield. It is Big Thunder Marines old 4 engine race boat. We are re-rigging it for a 4 passenger poker run boat.

bob didn't sell ya a trailer, surely he had one around that would fit it.....

Re: 46 Skater Trailer
 

The trailer that came with it was an older one that is not in very good shape. The drives are being made at Twin Disk and we will not be getting them until the end of the month. Hope to have the boat ready around the middle of August.

You guys are quick...2 motors or 4?....Have you thought about a float on trailer?...

Re: 46 Skater Trailer
 

The boat is being rigged with four Keith Eickert motors running through two Arneson Twin Disk drives.

You might try contacting Skater directly... they probably know if there is a used one on the market.

Copeland might have one for sale.

Re: 46 Skater Trailer
 

rik, you have any pics of the twin disk setup in a boat like this?

Re: 46 Skater Trailer
 

It’s just a dual input ASD10 drive unit. It’s a 16" drop box drive unit. You cannot see anything different in the drive from the outside; it just has two input shafts. The front engine is connected to the lower shaft and the rear engine is connected to the upper shaft.

Dirty Laundry, Outerlimits Four of a Kind, Jaguar's Dan Campbell, Al Copeland’s Cougar, and others all have had this drive combination.

rik,

what happens if the motor s are off 500 rpms how does that affect the box

Re: 46 Skater Trailer
 

That's just it. The motors will not be 500 rpm off as they are connected to each other via the drive unit.

Not that complicated, once the engine are running under load there are no problems with the engines.

When idling, its best to only use one of the engines on each side to save the transmissions.

Once the boat is going, you pop the second engine into gear.
