HW It took me a second to get your language. It's not summer yet, but we have a pretty good supply on hand this year so don't fret!

The single hull was a Family Skier type dyne(back seat, observer seat back could flip to watch skiers or face forward). Believe it's an '84 and it came from Racine, WI. It had an old 200 Merc on it when we got it.

We have been doing some restoration on an old Hydrodyne this winter. We have a twin rig for the ski team and this year we are building our own single rig. Our goal is to get away from personally owned Nautiques to run practice and shows. Our next club boat may very well be a mid 90's Nautique...problem is: I'll have to care about it too much. These Dyne's are nice cuz we can beat em up and not care a whole heck of a lot. At least not as much as a nice clean SN.









After a good buff job:




The Twin got new red lights, the single got Blue. (same setup)

Hey all! Hope Spring has you as excited as it has me! Our Ski Team had our main towboat in the Mall again this year and wanted to share a couple pics with you. Also...was watching one of our shows while babysitting it and found the clip of our 2007 206 pull 18 off the dock and wanted to show that to you as well...kinda neat seeing what these Nautiques are capable of!

Pictures/Vid from our last ski show!

Pics

This Video is the first successful performance of our "One-Act-Show" consisting of a heli with a cut under, 3 high pyramid, conventional doubles couple, and a barefooter!

EDIT: Sorry for the horrible quality in the vid, it was taken by a fan in the crowd...if you full screen it it looks a littttle better.

The guy that kind of started this owns KW Show Ski Equipment trick releases, swivel skis, booms and extentions, etc….Super neat guy .The reason I say kind of started is because it has been done before just not in a ski boat application . He invited me to take his Master Craft (he cals it the Pull Star)for a spin because he said until you drive it you just can’t explain it. I will try and get video.
Counter rotating props
Ability to steer either direction in reverse
Does not effect on top speed
45* bevel cut gears 1 quart of atf   EDM wire burned gears
Sounds like it almost doubled 30 foot times as well as any other speed /boat tests that are done.
The biggest issue was obtaining a patent to be able to sell it. There is a long backs tory to this. And a patent was never issued “it has been done before” (One in two out trans )
He built and installed a dual prop set up in Zane Swanks boat but the patent deal was an issue. Zane wanted to use it in a twin engine 4 prop application.
He also built one for CC but they wanted to set it up and install themselves and for whatever reason were un able to get it to work. And as you see his friend Ryan built one and put it in his CC and works well.
The unit that was in the CC was for a Vdrive and it was returned and is for sale $5,000 vdrive or direct. $10,000 and he will install it.

That all I got for now

I am sure Jeff can come up with pics of the actual boats, but in the mean time, here is an example of a one in two out gear box. This one happens to be a v-drive set up, but you get the idea.

The most we pulled with a Nautique was a 2007 206 and 18 people. All were on skis except 3 couples. I think the pic is in this thread actually.

I take it that the 2007 206 has the 330 excalibur in it?

Dave, there are a few custom inboards around where people have built home made gearboxes that allow a single engine to turn multiple props. Usually for show skiing, where you need to pull big loads out of the hole. I remember seeing pictures of a ~2000 MC Prostar 190. This is a mid-80's Ski Tique:


Both boats are in our club pretty sweet setups.

The Hydrodyne hull the motors sit on actually has a roughly 1ft long tracking fin under the boat. Without it the boat is very very slippery...the wakes are awful on these things...knee breakers is how I'd explain them!

Interesting.

With the outboard tow rig, are there issues with the tracking of the boat? It essentially looks to sit somewhat shallow in the water, almost like a bass boat.

That said, I'm guessing the use is more tow lot's of people vs. slalom type competition where significant pull on the boat happens?

So Mike, just noticed your logo for the Bellevue Ski team, do you guys ever pull that Pyramid(s) (3-4-3 high) behind a single rig? That is a LOT of skiers (22 I think) behind one boat if you do...

Agreed Tim, very cool tique!

The motors we bought were on this beast...triple 225's. This boat and motor combo pulled Little Crow's world record 6 barefoot pyramids and also their huge 44 person pyramid.

HP and props in the water.

If I could get a nautique with twin GT-40's in it that thing would pull like a semi. Outboards are just more practical when you talk about multiplying them on a 20ft boat.

twin 150's will out-pull a single 300hp any day. It's all about traction.

I've always been curious about this type rig.

Why outboards? I'm guessing it's the only way to add enough HP to pull the number of skiers for a show like this?
