Loved those purple 850 HP gassers of Ron Potters.

Now those gray ones are not near as pretty but they are pretty practical. Yanmar 485's. Less than half the fuel burn and hopefully 2 - 3,000 hrs between rebuilds instead of 225 hrs. on the gas motors. :)

Especially when it was a stolen Enzo out of Europe and you're later brought up on countless felonies for various crimes that spread across several continants!

Only good thing that came out of that wreck for the driver was he actually walked away! He was racing a Mercedes SLR up PCH just outside of Malibu. Speed were calculated from the crash at near 199!! And there was video. Car left the ground at that hill in the background, took a telephone pole out and continued for another 500 yards or so.

580 cid Donovans in my cig. Lost one after I bought it and could only save the block, 5 sleeves and heads. Pulled both and had Dave Wesseldyk build it and tune both up on his Dyno. When I bought the boat it was being run on race gas and all he did was take the 120 jets out of the carbs and wound up with around 98's and pump gas. Same pullies and very reliable ever since.

[Doug1]

This blue V-drive belongs to Dave Wesseldyk. That was an incredible weekend at Hardy Reservoir in Michigan. Hot Boat weekend is something you have to see. The sound was incredible echoing through the hills. He also built 2 motors for this gentlemans black boat. Wish I had a better pic of it.

Diesel powered MTI (Old Tommy Bahama boat)What motors are those? Multispeed transmissions?

[shifter]

Those are 3-speed semi-automatic electric shifted with a shift on the fly FnR.

We had some problems with the clutch system on the FnR but I have changed the type of clutch and the dyno testing is complete and they are going back to Mark. It would fire in gear and drive away but the on the fly part was not working well and was making it hard to dock. I am sure you crash box guys know what that is like.

The 47 is a Skater. This winter they are going to set up a test day to get it dialed in, It is a rudder boat and there was not enough negative trim to get it on plane. Add spacers and try again. The polished trans is a 4-speed with a crashbox fnr and a clutch.

Pat,

At what RPM does his boost come on ? Hence not being able to get on plane.

Thanks
Jon

[shifter]

I have not seen the data yet so I do not want to guess. With the 4-speed the boost is on early so to speak at the hit of the throttle. I have a lot of questions and I know the data will answer some. I was not at the poker run for the test so I am in the dark...

That is all us.

The engines are facing flywheel to flywheel with a U-shape transmission and a Z shape transmission. The offset transmissions are FNR and they send the driveshafts to the rear, under the the headers to the 6-speeds, and then the drives.

I designed the brackets for the serpentine belt to mount the sea pump and the powersteering pump. The arrangement is different for the front motor and the rear (no power steering) Flipped the intakes, Mefi 4 controllers and cable throttle body. Very stock engines. The engine complete with headers, steel engine mounts, bellhousing, clutch, offset transmission = 624 lbs.

We wanted to have the engines as low as possible. They are counter rotating because they are flywheel to flywheel. I picked the LS7 for the power to weight ratio. We are looking at several other engines to go with our transmissions and drives. So far these are hard to beat.

The Wartsila-Sulser is manufactured by the Aioi Works in Japan and is part of Japans Diesel United Ltd engine manufacturers.
Below is an 89 foot long 44 foot wide 12 cylinder engine, literally as big as a house ! What I find confusing is why they haven't actually built the ship around the engine ? How they actually get the 2000 ton engine out of the plant and moreover install an engine of this size into a ship makes the mind boggle.

These large engines are designed to power the worlds super oil tankers and large container ships. They are built to the ship owners preferences. They usually request an engine construction of a single unit and single propeller design for ease of maintenance, and not surprisingly any later troubleshooting. A single unit and single screw design has also proved over time to have a longer life span than double or even quad screws.

These engines are built in 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 cylinder configurations. All the engines are straight or 'inline'. The diameter of each cylinder is 3 foot 2 inches with a stroke of 8 foot 2 inches. The 12 cylinder version weighs in at 2000 metric tons and delivers 90,000 Horse Power at 100 Revs per minute, with best fuel economy at 53,244 HP at 90 Rpm.
When I mention economy, the 14 cylinder engine for example with a displacement of 25,480 Liters ( 1.56 million cubic inches ) burns up 1,660 gallons of crude ("bunker") oil every hour.

-------------------------

The Mathematical calculation : 1,660 gallons/per hour = 39.5 barrels of crude oil/used per hour = $2,844. These figures are worked out from the basis of crude oil @ $72 a barrel*.
$2,844 every hour the engine runs or 27.6 Gallons which is $46.00 every minute or 76 cents a second ! That is of course if the ships buy oil at trade price...if not then these figures are the absolute minimum.

In the image below a worker at the plant is finalizing work on the cylinder block. This image shows the piston sleeves. The worker could quite easily have a nap inside one of the bores and no one would notice !

Below are the pistons that will soon be fitted into the engine. Unlike normal car sized pistons these 3 foot diameter pistons incorporate lots of holes and it is through these holes that oil is injected through valves to keep all the working parts at a maximum low wear tolerance. Despite the colossal amounts of power output produced by these engines, surprisingly low wear rates have actually been recorded. Cylinder liner wear for example is only about 0.03 mm down for every 1000 hours of engine use.
It must be remembered here that these engines work at about 20 times slower than a normal 2.0 Liter car engine and this is a major contributor to the life of the engine.

The image below depicts the 300 ton crankshaft of the 10 cylinder engine. You may notice here that there are steps on the wall of the casing to climb down into the engines sump !

In the image below the pistons shell bearings are being fitted into the engine block. They are lowered into place by a crane and guided in by two workers and a supervisor. They keep all surfaces of the engine clean at this stage as any grit or dirt could later add wear to the engine or worse destroy it, so the workers are wearing special cloth overshoes so as not to leave any abrasions on the fine working surfaces. Also you may notice that sheeting is covering the rest of the engines crankcase bearing housing to keep the dust off. These engines cost many millions upon millions of dollars; in fact, more than the ship itself that they are installed into.

100,000 HP was actually achieved on a test bed in the workshop with the 14 cylinder model, running the engine flat out at just under 102 RPM.
102 Rpm may sound slow compared to a normal sized car engine that operates at about 2-4000 rpm, but when an engine is as big as this then fast engine revolutions are made obsolete by the sheer power output.

That is all us.

The engines are facing flywheel to flywheel with a U-shape transmission and a Z shape transmission. The offset transmissions are FNR and they send the driveshafts to the rear, under the the headers to the 6-speeds, and then the drives.

I designed the brackets for the serpentine belt to mount the sea pump and the powersteering pump. The arrangement is different for the front motor and the rear (no power steering) Flipped the intakes, Mefi 4 controllers and cable throttle body. Very stock engines. The engine complete with headers, steel engine mounts, bellhousing, clutch, offset transmission = 624 lbs.

We wanted to have the engines as low as possible. They are counter rotating because they are flywheel to flywheel. I picked the LS7 for the power to weight ratio. We are looking at several other engines to go with our transmissions and drives. So far these are hard to beat.

Did Nigel Hooks Scarab run a similar setup?

[JCPERF]

Reggie built a 40 race boat with the inline setup

[Hot Boat]

Shifter any photos of the drives???

[shifter]

We did the scarab the same way, it is now hanging up at the Lucas oil stadium, but Reggies had to have Mercs so we did two extra 9 inch offset boxes to get up to the input of the drives. I hung them off the 4 bolts on the gimbal and cut the input flange off. We snapped a carbon shaft off when we lost a ujoint strap leading the cats in its best race at N.C. The dumb driveshaft company did not know the bolts were metric in the yoke end so....... crossthreads are better than no threads right. That boat ended up being converted to bravos (Shogren) and left for Europe Searex. I never got any pics of it.

How different is the length of your drive when compared to a #6? How deep is the skeg as well when compared to a 6? Just nosy :sifone:

Is that boat still sitting? or has anything happened with it?

[Rik]

Sitting there is the shop, motors on the stands with the heads off so no pressure on the valve springs.

The coolest boat ever. No boat I've ever seen sounded like the Sorcerer. Rod was ahead of his time, he made the air shifting crash box, down turn muffler pipes, the larger Lysom blowers, and many other ideas along with over 2,000 hp.

Well nothing spectacular like you all,

just my little stroked sbc...ballpark 540-550 hp

[shifter]

Those skegs are 4 inches longer.

The overall length is determined by the standoff box. +10 inches on the #6 in this case. Our other drive WMD is the same as a 3a but we use them with the standoff to set them in the right spot for the application. These are +2 inches longer.

The first picture is an engine that is going into a 1994 Penske Indy car that I own. 32 valves, 4 cams, 161 cubic inches, 700 hp at 10,000 rpm and still climbing when we chickened out. (Only 5 psi boost, too...) If I remember correctly, we raced them at 11,800 / 780 hp.

The second picture is a 2-valve pushrod engine we built for Indy that year that made 1,012 hp from 209 cubic inches at 9,800 rpm and 12 pounds of boost. Raced it once, won the 500 and retired the engine. It would actually spin the wheels inside the tires....

Each engine weighed right at 300 lbs.
