You know your not on the bad list. Just call whenever you need a hand ! I actually might have some extra putty after Sunday if you need some.

I think most of us have been in that same spot Mike, I know I have. People call and ask me for help, I'm there in 10 min. I call and ask them for help, don't hear from them for two weeks (till...

Thank you again for the explanation. I've heard rumors/stories about the Daytonas, some said they came from real Biesemeyer molds, some said its a splash. Thanks for clearing that up.

I've...

Thank you for the history lesson. I had an idea it might be the Bezer style hull, but wasn't sure.

Curious, are there any differences between a race deck Biesemeyer and the Daytona ? I've...

Newbie question, what hull is this ? Looking at all the circle boat pics I've noticed some slight differences in shape. Some (like this one) have an angle at the cap line while most are rounded.

I know that one is in the "Mouzer stables".

OK, but lets picture this, same example you used, 8 deg shaft angle to the boats motion. Now lets use a prop that has an 8 deg angle on the blades. The downward moving blade will be creating no...

I've always had a hard time understanding why this is true. I know its true, but I just cant wrap my head around why its true when a prop is fully submerged.

I think my little brain came up with...

I just found this thread and drooled all over my keyboard. WESTERNAERO, that timing cover/waterpump creation is a work of art !!!

Ok but that doesn't make me wrong. The hydro prop is still doing the majority of its work in a bottom forward way, whether its consistent or pulsed. So it should force/flex the shaft in one...

I have theory on that. The hydro prop will still have a consistent load even though its not even. It would be a forward from the bottom force. Probably trying to bend the shaft up in the middle. ...

WOW that's a big difference ! Sometimes its hard to remember just how much every little thing can add up to.

Quiet, you just want me to part it out (not going to happen) so you can have the 8 deg. :moon:

This probably the stuff from that boat. Story is these parts came from the SS 44 boat that flipped at Long Beach in 07.

Ok, and for the big question.

Should I even consider staying with that shaft in a lake use boat ? Assuming it checks out good. Or just go through the work to step up to a 1" shaft now before...

Its the best I can do with my phone.

Bob, have you ever seen or heard of a shaft like mine, 7/8" shaft but uses a 1" prop ? Looks like a 1" shaft that's been turned down to 7/8" from the props taper forward.

That's interesting, and you made me go take a better look at my parts. I hadn't noticed it before (never actually looked) but the motor to V-drive shaft (1 3/8") is hollowed out. Its got a 7/8" hole...

So your saying with two shafts of equal material, the smaller shaft with allow more torsional twist before failure ? That's interesting, I wouldn't have thought of that.

Didn't see your reply when I posted. That makes sense, but it sure seems like a risky place to try and save weight. Especially when they had a huge 1 3/8" shaft between the V-drive and the engine.

Maybe he'll teach us both after his nap. This was no factory low hp set up, it was from a real SS boat. It uses an 8 deg Casale with a 1 1/8" output shaft, an adaptive 6 bolt coupler (1 1/8" to...

Sense you brought it up, and sense this thread seems to back on track. Whats the thinking behind the 7/8" shaft ? Is it that its lighter (easier to spin up) or that its smaller and has less drag ? ...

And whats wrong with a good nap ? Ask your son, or any old guy, naps are a GREAT thing !!!:biggrin:

Yea, or it would be nice if he at least washed the dirt off it. Looked like he was trying to start a vegetable garden on the deck when I showed up this morning.:AngryFinger_7WSKJO:
