The really "Old School" boating thread

[gn7]

There were quite a few v-drive gear box manufacturers in the late 50's/early 60's. I've never seen most of them.

Tom Davis used a Precision V Glide in a 430 Lincoln powered Patterson to win the first Parker 9 hr.

Bob Patterson rigged Bill Ritners boat that was the first V drive flat to win the Orange Bowl 9hr in 1959.

The strong and quite. But heavy as hell and harder to assemble than a C 500 Casale.

That's about what I expected to see once you showed the input/output side.


Nothing says both inputs had to hook to the engine. Hook one input to the engine, the other acts an idler, you could use the shaft to drive something if wanted.

Coupling outputs to prop shafts with chains and sprockets was common as dirt in those days. Still is used in hydros and some crackers.

I thought this coupling was the standard deal on crackers from the ones I stuck my nose in, what other couplings do they use???

It looks heavy!!

There are a couple that use a in/out and whirlaway tail piece from Casale mounted to the cross member that tales the prop shaft thrust.

While you are sticking your nose in boats, stick it in P94 the next time you see it,

OOOOOoo, tricky... MUCH better that way than not having any IN/OUT or prop release... Nice...

Tom Davis's Patterson was So Rare ?

Bill Brandenburg said Pattersons were originally named after songs.

Drawing a blank here.....Nescher?

Here you Carl. George Temple was the builder.

If that's a 55 Mandella, they are more similar to a Rayson that I thought they were when Joe died. The entry on that thing is a dead ringer for an early Rayson.

Here you go Bob.
