Thread: My New Projects

    Anyone know of someone who is good at calculating and setting up a direct drive / V drive? I have a couple of unique projects that I need help setting up the initial boat. Can anyone recommend someone who knows how to set the strut, down tube, etc...? I can do everything from that point on, just never setup a V drive or direct drive before.

    What I am looking for is someone who can show me how it is done not simply do it for me. I want to learn how to do it so I can do it myself on future projects. I have been rigging boats for the past 5 years so I do just fine on the assembly part just never setup a V drive or direct drive before. Once I get the first one or two done, I will be setup and do it myself in the future. I already have a shop to do it in and prefer to do it myself, with someone showing me how it is done.

    Danny,
    I got a Tige you can look at - direct drive with a velvet drive tranny. Probably not the high-end install you are looking for though. May help with what angle to go with.

    Danny, I know there are a few guys up in Tahoe that rebuild those boats. I'm sure you could pay one to come down and help you so you could learn how they were set up. just an idea. I wish you guys the best on those boats, I would love to see one up close.

    There are lots of people that can show you how to do this including Jim Wilkes. Dave Sammonds is in San Diego, Art Anderson is in Arizona and Jim Wilkes is 5 minutes away. Good luck
