Mystic 185 Twin Turbine Build by Chris "Sir File-a-Lot" Fischer

Did forget to mention that, normally polished SS screws look beautiful but in this case there'd have been no contrast between the screws and the polished parts so Christian ordered some glossy black SS screws for the gearboxes and the drives.

Here two pictures I liked very very much, the comparison between my CAD drawing and the result:




And two more "Bling-Bling" pictures:





So thanks for watching and reading, for today I close the chapter "drives". I hope you enjoyed it - the review will continue probably next week.

Have a nice evening and best regards,

This boat, the time and effort invested in it, can not be topped!! I can't imagine what that would look like?

It's just......perfect....

Wow!

The amount of screws amazes me. A fair bit of loctite A world class build. I must say very good work on CAD Manuel, and the production of the drives by Christian is once again precision taken to a whole new level. The finishing touches with the polishing and laser work really completes it.

What!?!? Those drives are off the chart!

Which museum was this being made for again?

First of all a little picture in between:

Visited Christian to look for an update and pick up some parts but no one opened the door. But I could see lights inside and also hear some noise. So I walked round the house and found Christian sitting on the floor absolutely concentrated polishing his drives. Watched him a few minues, then I took a photo before I knocked on the window. He liked the photo and also told me to put it online. Because it shows that what we do here is not pressing the green button and the finished part falls out of the machine but its mainly just a real lot of manual work.



Mounting of the drives

Next step was to mount these drives on the hull. There he had some minor troubles as he didn't like the optic of the mounting surface inside of the hull. So he made a sketch on cartrigde and then cut out some nice CF sheet and glued it in using epoxy resin. He also prepared some selfmade aluminium washers which he polished for the screws to mount the gearbox as it is a seperate part.

Another problem arrived when we found out that the transom of the boat was not 90° to the last running surface. This caused a problem as the part where the drive is fixed on the transom had a negative angle and its end was below the tearing edge of the boat. So this would cause quite some drag and also lift. But Christian had a brilliant idea to solve this. First he cut out a piece of sanding paper in the form of a washer which he glued to that part that is screwed to the hull using double sided tape. Then he grinded a kind of countersunk up to 3mm in the transom. When finished he cut out a ring of 2mm CF sheet and glued it into that countersunk using an angle to make it rectangular to the last step.









Then he could finally mount the drives. I may excuse for posting a lot of pictures now but they all look good and it was almost impossible to choose the best ones!

The Props are a pair of PropShop 6518/3 in Stainless Steel reduced to 62mm in diameter. These are the perfect high speed props for that hull with that setup.

Best regards,
