Four for the rudder bracket.

one drain hole

the high one is where the "C" shaped pipe Crapshooter used to pick up water came out the transom (someone may have a picture) It was just a pipe that was bent in a semi circle to grab water from behind the boat.. they did not have rudders with water pickups back then. The strut is a needle bearing set up.

Ok where can I find new bearings and solid shaft for it at?

 

[Norm Doerr]

I would look up Gary at G&M models.

Dumas may have them too.

I am sure someone on here will see this and probobly have the entire deal.

That picture makes me think that I built that boat as a ready to run for someone. That is the way that I did my water lines back then.

It would be a shame to mess with that boat. Put the boat up for sale for some on that wants and old rigger for there collection. Then buy a new boat that will be competitive.

It will be harder as time gose on to find a boat like that.

David

Put a VAC 91 in it ,,flex shaft .. rock and roll !

I was looking for those pictures in your gallery.. could not find them. Do you still have some of the pit pictures from Indy showing the transoms?

Gil:

Thanks for the pictures. Those were 3 of my best buds.....

Mike Wisniewski, Wray Freitas, Mike Beauregard

The picture was taken at the Indy Unlimited in the late 70's. Freitas won the race against 120 other boaters.

Mike Wisniewski is the son of Bill Wisniewski (designer of the K&B Engines). Mike is no longer with us....

Beauregard had one of the best running Cannard's that I had ever seen and was the inspiration for the Crapshooter line of Canards.

3 really good guys....

The rudder assy is what you are looking for for the 40 boat. Wisniewski is holding exactly the same boat as yours but you can't see much of it.

Hey Nessa,

Old School?? Right up my alley, Here are some sources for hard shaft hardware.

The universals are still available from Octura (get the Heavy Duty set) - depending upon what shaft thread the selected engine is. The Dumas shaft was stock #2704 Heat treated Armco 17-4PH Stainless steel 3/16" X 24" long (I believe Dumas no longer heat treats their shafts). Gary Jensen Metal Concepts, Inc. 14228 132nd Ave. NE Kirkland, WA 98034 PH: (425)820-6473 e-mail: [email protected] sells struts with bearings $40., 3/16" X 25" Hard shaft $15. ( these shafts do not have threaded ends like DUMAS), WATER PICKUP, TRANSOM MOUNTED $15.00, AND STRUT BEARINGS (NEEDLE) $11./PAIR. The ball bearings are called "Instrument bearings" and should be available at most bearing supply shops. They come in different grades,different ODs, you do want all stainless steel if you decide to go that way. Roller bearings will work in stuffing box with case hardened shaft. I use 36" lengths of K&H brass tubibg for ball bearing stuffing tubes, two thicknesses, and another brass tube the OD of the ball bearings to maintain the bearings inside the dtuffing tube in position - pic attached.

I built a Classic Thunderboat last year that has an adjustable hard shaft running in ball bearings in it - Pinckert "Power Drive" - - works GREAT !!! Let me know if you need other info about hard drive systems. CHEERS !!! Bob
