Quick update on the Copeland project, http://speedonthewater.com/

 

[Copeland's Phenomenon]

As of today we have 4 installed gearboxes with drives and crashboxes. I will start final installation of all 4 motors in the morning and hopefully starting on Thursday. Here are a few pictures of our progress. We have set up a tentative date of January 23rd to break the 220 mph record, and will have it open to other boats. Please contact John Carbonell at SBI to participate.

[cigdaze]

Lookin' great! There's certainly some serious rigging going on there. Best of luck to you guys.

Good question: Where will the run be? We would love to come out and support your efforts.

Great looking boat, Al Sr would be very proud. Congrats and good luck.

I have always wondered how the transmissions/gear reduction works on a turbine. How do you go into gear at the high idle of a turbine? Does the disc brake on the output shaft actually slow down the turbine as well? How does it shift from forward neutral reverse?
