I sent JD the link to this thread so he might chime in. The boat is in Easton, IL right now. They have a very nice setup there. Got a tour back in 2008. Seeing Don's old dragster sitting up near the ceiling on a ledge brought back a lot of childhood memories. I could not believe how small it looked now compared to when I was 11 years old!

If I remember, Tom used dual input chain boxes and the engines were offset to allow the front driveshaft to pass. Another interesting application was the big Conquest quad-engine boat.

The Onken setup connects the output of the first engine to the crank snout of the second. I wonder what crank life is like.

In reality, powerboaters learned most of this from the early multi-engine land-speed cars.

Yep, these are the Arneson ASD10 dual input chain box. You connect the rear engine to the top input shaft and the forward motor to the lower in put shaft.

I remember asking Tom's guys if they were your boxes- they swore there was not a single Arneson part in the setup. I doubted that- I couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want to use something commercially available and proven. In fact, I saw no benefit to his gantry-frame drives. All he got was rudders in the back. And he lost all trimmability.

We're supposed to be getting a pleasure Mystic like that on Grand Lake this Summer. :willy_nilly:

Why are you always so sarcastic? I spoke with Don about the boat and the tilt trailer and just passing on what he told me. I thought it would bring up questions seeing the Nuati Marine trailer. I simply posted some info on what I think is a great boat owned by a great guy.

The dual chain set up surprises me. I was going to assume a flexible rubber or sometype of coupler like large electric motors run. But it does look cool. Thanks for sharing the info. and GOOD LUCK to the owners builders etc. Yep, I am really jealous!!

That's pretty common in industrial applications- as well as on the LSR cars and pulling tractors. It's a strong coupling.

An old-timer engineer pointed this out to me once- it's not total horsepower, it's power pulse. We were working on coupling three single-cylinder engines together at the time and powering all three through one's output shaft. I was concerned about strength. If you connect them in proper phasing, you only have 8 power pulses per revolution. One every 45 degrees of crank rotation. So the hardware doesn't need to be able to bear the force of 1600 horsepower, it needs to bear the force of 100 horsepower.

I remember reading some thing about he was a banker and had a Fountain? That is the 1st one right, this one being the 2nd of the pleasure versions?

What a shoot out this could be! AWESOME!!

This is the first non race Mystic 50 (or 48 in this case), especially since the other one isn't built yet.

He did own a Fountain, but I don't "think" he's a banker. There's another really nice guy on the lake, that IS a banker, owns a Fountain, and has been confused with the other guy that is building the Mystic recently. Two different people though, that coincidentally have Fountains, and may BOTH be bankers. :cheers2:

I am pretty sure I know who it is!!!!!

We built the Warbird 50 cat back in 01 with our own V16's. It was two 850's back to back with a gear case in between. It was a cool set up but the 6's couldn't handle the torque.

Back to back is the way to do it!
