Wire drives

[Bill Eilers]

My question is will a properly set up 1/8 wire drive handle a strong 67 hydro pounding the water with a big prop?

 

[John Beardslee]

Should be fine, key is set up correctly. I know many that are running them on gassers, twins with 101’s as well as record setting big block boats.

Bill,
Order a wire drive from Brent Byers and a good collet. Shouldn't be an issue.

We have been running Brent's Wire Drives in our new prototype Sport Hydro and have had ZERO issues with it. We are VERY happy with his drives.

Thanks to all of you. Talked to him at great length. Got information on how to set it up properly and ordered two

Carl, good looking boat. A sport hydro that is actually a sport hydro not a sport rigger!

Thanks! You are correct...I think the guys who have seen it run see that you don't have to chop one all up to make it fast. She's a straight tail. The wire drive is the way to go. We are going to try the new drive Brent has designed in the next revision.

THANKS! It's a joint effort. Me Mike & Ron Talley and Kentley Porter have all been working on it together. I made a laser kit for it but not sure if I will sell it or not. I am taking a break from being a model supplier for awhile. It's fun just messing around again. Looking forward to trying the new soft mounted wire drive system.
