Somehow he got connected with Brendell and started making Hondo's for him and then started his own line with the Hondo molds (Catalina). This place is still in business.
That was right before Kenny came out of the closet. :)Quote:

Old school V-Drive.

Looks more like a "W" drive for dual counter rotating props.Quote:

It belongs in this boat, '55 twin screw Mandella.

Guessing....output shaft of engine is the third leg of a triangle and drives a chain from above to the two outer inputs of the box then each inner shaft is driving a prop shaft? They seem pretty close for that to work. How else?
Dave Sammons' work bench?
I only called it that because that's what they call them on the TFHs today.Quote:

I have no clue Carl. That's not how they work or look today. That setup would have the props turning the same direction. Not sure how it works, but the chain setup is very interesting. My guess is, its 1 to 1 ratio.Quote:
