McConnel Is 2010

Post by farmerden » Mon Jul 05, 2010 6:18 pm

Here's some pics of Jake Turner's "The Real McCoy" He made the boat [all steel],he made the boiler [Scotch] he made the engine [no castings].All I can say is this is the most stable boat I have ever been on .Turns about 200 RPM and fast! I think the boiler should be painted black and then the "Stealth" image would be complete! I'm sure Jake was a Rum Runner in his past life cause he runs alot at night,the boat is long,low and black,and fast,and quiet!!Image

Dave It Is .It has a 6in stroke and I should have written the specs down .And-- It steps down around 2to1 thru a three in belt to a huge prop so she leaps ahead about 5 ft every revolution

Great videos! I really enjoyed the race. I have to say he did a great job on the lines of that boat. Beautiful!
