I thought I would show everybody what I spent 4 months building. I kept breaking my lowers on the B-Max so I thought that if I had two props that I would reduce the gear load by 50%. I have put six hours on it at 1400HP, haven't lost the lower yet. I am pulling it this weekend for inspection I'll let you all know how it looks. I hope it looks as good as it performs!
Thanks, Tom Earhart

Tom, what's the top speed of your rocket ship so far??
And, is that an aluminum spacer between the drive and the housing??

Waterfowl, the lake where I live is not to big, but I had it to 125mph three times Tuesday. The aluminum is a billet that was machined to replace the B-Max front shaft support and help support the Blackhawk. The Blackhawk is a one piece unit, so I had to saw it into and join the two.
Thanks, Tom

Familiar with Gun Lake Tom. I can believe you would run out of room, as well as depth! I've actually been to your shop a couple of times. Once to dyno KAAMA Mark's motor with Jim Valako, and once to dyno SuperV's motor with Dave Ritter.
