wow Raj, looks pretty ambitious from where I'm standing, but no doubt it will be a beautiful boat once it's done. Ken.

RE: GTX 3 cylinder with MHZ gearbox and trimax drives
nice, you combine the engines or did they come that way??
howd you combine the trimax drives?? i only see em in single drive, not double..
MHZ is in ft. lauderdale, where are they located, they have a storefront or is it just a factory?

The hull is 65" long
The trimax drives are XL
The rudder is from Expresscraft (It will polish up to look like chrome. The picture shows a raw part straight from the CNC machine)
The gearbox is from MHZ

The Trimax drives do not come that way. I linked them toether
MHZ is not in Ft>laudedale and I have no affiliation with them. I am out of Ft.lauderdale. MHZ-USA is operated out of a house in Ft. Myers, FL with no store front. The MHZ parts are manufactured in Europe.
I think I answered all your questions...

Yes, that is in USD. The website is www.bhhanson.com. Warehouse hobbies, marine specialties and Sikk all make similar style pipes. The pipes will be supported by exhaust tips that I machine myself. All the pipes will be concealed under the hatch and the boat will have a scale appearance from the outside.

RE: GTX 3 cylinder with MHZ gearbox and trimax drives
Raj, unfortunately haven't been able to get to the lake in a while due to the amount of work here on the ranch and the fact that last time out, I was just so happy to find out that the prop everybody told me would be fine, the propshop 7016, is too small and does nothing but cavitation. So I'll have that up for sale soon, plus when I pulled the engine to clean the clutch dust out and just make sure that all the engine screws were tight, I pulled the exhaust off and now have to order another Header gasket because the last one doesn't seel anymore. Oh well, plus it's down to freezing out here already. Ken.

Are the engines "timed"? That is not just arbitrarily ganged together?

Frogman,
Have you tried a 275 on that boat yet? I sold you that boat, right? What gasket blew? Let me know and I'll send you one.

The gasket between the header and the case is done after taking it off to tighten up everything on the engine, and yes you sold me the boat. Thanks for the offer. The original prop that I still have is the 275, but I have to send it out to be balanced/sharpened/polished. Ken.

RE: GTX 3 cylinder with MHZ gearbox and trimax drives
nice boat xxx. wish i had the money to run three powerplants. i am only putting one in my 57" mono. I would be embarassed to be at the lake at the same time as you[sm=lol.gif]. anyway. how does the trimax work for you? Is it worth the money or does it perform the same as the other drives out there?
