I was reading in the Cig section about some cigs with surface drives and was curious if any Apaches are running surface drives. Specifically 36's and 41's.

No I consider it a surfacing speedmaster drive with a lower unit a suface drive to me is something on an almost direct or direct shaft trimmable or not like bpm, trimax, arneson, or kaama. And I agree with Chris about the Weissman!!!!!

What was the beam on the Miami to NY 47, looks like more than 8'?
Also isn't there a teal 41 running in Europe now, seen video (p1?), looks like surface drives...

02-28-2009 06:16 PMThe engines in post # 9 are BPM V 12 engines
They are manufactured in Italie,same company as the BPM drives,the engines they produce are 1 litre per cilinder ,they have a V6 ,V8 ,V12 ,all are all aluminium ,block&heads,oil pans etc etc, I believe those v12,s were rated at 680 hp back then ,not 100% sure.
All engines have hemisferic style heads

The speedmaster 6 was originally designed by Fred Kiekhaefer back in the mid 80's when he was head of Kiekhaefer Aeromarine. It was released in 1988 as the Kiekhaefer K drive and only available to qualified race teams. The first dry sump #6 was done by Pat Wiessman in 95.
Run until it sounds expensive
