In last month's hot boat I saw a couple of V-drives with right and left foot pedals. Does anyone sell a set up like that???
I have a left hand drive Sleekcraft with a hand throttle , it's so wrong. I need a gas pedal and left footrest/ trim pedal? [Bravo drive ].
Anyone know suppliers ???

So what about the rest of the hardware?? The photos I saw had a horzontal bar connecting them. Does anyone sell this stuff or is it all custom fabrication ???

Bergeron makes a complete kit for a jet boat to do exactly what you describe. They'll key it for the trim pedal and cut the 7/8ths bar to length, if you don't have the equipment to do so. Alot of the set-ups you see are custom deals. Yours should be fairly basic.

I know the original guys that made that stuff, Finish Line Engineering. It is still available, and all hand crafted to each boat. It's funny how something works and everybody 'jumps on the band wagon' and calls it "their own". 20 years ago, the trend was toward 'Tri-metric' up/ down controls, now it's back to basics again. Funny how it all comes 360 degrees, back to the beginning.

Who are you referring to George?
lol, I think he's referred to all of us at one point or another. lol
George, did you start up Finish Line Engineering from scratch (like from the ground up) or did you buy it from H. Kindsvater like some of the other major players did?
