Is this guy still around at all? I have a 47 foot.Lightning with triple surface drives Four feet past the stern. My lowest drive is in the center And I've been. Engineering ACRP surface drive to Remedy The drag and tilt caused by 2 out of 3 drives, spinning the same way. I just. Saw stumbled across these videos the other day
@@TysonGarvin Back around the mid-late 80s. I worked at a machine shop in Idaho Falls Idaho With Lockheed Martin In my backyard. They had us Build to spec 2 sets Of counter rotating props. That were shaped like a teardrop. My Drag Racing buddy is on the board of directors.
Is this the 399 Skater V bottom that was rumored to run over 100 mph with stock 525s? I remember the Spiderman boat was a Skater V. Lucas Oil also ran a Skater V. If this is a pleasure boat than it’s super rare.
I remember watching this all those years ago and being absolutely captivated at the engineering and insanity that went into something like this. And now, many years later down the line, seeing this engine being disassembled and explained over on Rob's channel is surreal. You've said it yourself Tyson, this is an art piece. I can agree to that!
I just want to clarify that I re-found you through Rob Dahm, however I did see this video in the year it came out and I still believe it is as immaculate as it was the first time I saw it. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Matasaburo Maeda's own son, Ikuo Maeda who were the creators of the RX series for Mazda. Alongside the pleasure of working with Ikuo, I had shown him this video as a demonstration on just how far this technology can and will go. Him and I had both agreed that this will be a crucial engine to the advancement of the internal combustion engine's future, especially in it's PTW ratio. By far, I am truly amazed even to this day by your ingenuity and I hope everything finds you well. Take care of yourself, Tyson. ,アキヒ
