Hey Droppy, I dont know if its the one you're thinking of but I think Rudy Ramos had one but it was a v-drive. Very cool looking boat.
I believe he's boating upstairs now......RIP Rudy

Just came up in a conversation with my buddy BLT. We thought it'd be cool to have 2 eninges inline, connected like the olf tractor pulling rigs. I think they basically used a big chain to couple them ?
If I pull out the back seat in the 21' I'd have plenty of room for another blown BBF :idea: :D

I saw a pix of two engines inline in a small boat. Anyone seen one ? Pix ?Some time ago Rand Higo had a Papp TPR-19 Blown Gas Unit. Dan Nelson & Tom did the set up Dan Built the Motor for it. A buddie of Dan Nelson's got ahold of a picture with a Hot Boat Model and re-did the Picture to include the second motor in it. It was trick and original as he turned the Blower belts around to a diff location and it looked real. We published it in one of our Catalogs for fun untill my Grand Daughter was playing around with it and blew it up. Well the Models Top had slid above then Nip's and she tells me Pop she is showing her top, I look at it and untill it was blown up I never noticed before, just bad eyes I guess. The Picture is still here in a box I think.

I think I read most of that link(well the first page) and no one ever asked him how fast it was. I wonder that and how quick it could be? Maybe I need to read everything in the link. I think a couple of built sm/blks 500- 550 each would do the trick:D
