Where did "The unfficial home of all that is nitro vee" go?
My first boat 14yrs ago-Have I had fun working on this boat and learning!What an fantastic boat,great design,runs out sweet,hard to flip and handles waves like no other its size I have yet to see.I made a few changes over the years-(Os .18 engine(modded by AB mods)/Macs tuned pipe/all bearings instead of oilite bushings/Robesch drive dog etc.The hardest thing for me is the outdrive system,even though its fine the way it is,I just kinda don't care for it really,has anyone out there ever tried doing an outdrive (like a stinger etc.,the way they make boats now),with the rudder system?I don't see why you would have to lose the clutch system/return to shore,(no wayee I'm giving up the RTS),any reason why the flex cable couldn't run in the drive dog?A flex cable is just coupled to the engine,thats what the T drive dog is,a coupler,anyway let me know and in parting i would like to ask who was the guy that invented the N/V?,He was a smart guy,the clutch system/Rts system are brillant,I've often wondered why you don't see other boats with a Rts system,if you look at it,it says it is patented,maybe thats why
