I got side-tracked...

Actually I did a ton of searcing for a good shot, and am AMAZED at how few there are. gman found the best image in my opinion, and it is just a line-drawing from the glen-l website......

My 14 year old son learned to barefoot back in June. He loves it and is a natural (skiing on one foot and doing a 360 on his first day). There's a barefoot club here in Austin they're trying to get him to join. I don't know you guys do it, but it is just the nuts!

Alright-

I admit I took a tangent yesterday, and want to take the time to apologize. Thing is, I really did a lot of searching for a good shot; one that not only showed the power plant, but the uniqueness of the installation as well, and that is where things get real tough. That is when I got distracted. Again, sorry.


SO.....

Last night I spent some time diging around further, and I came up with this. Sorry Michael, it is still an installation that is not in a modern ski/wakeboard/tow boat, but it does show the basic setup and allows differentiation hopefully from an I/O installation or a v-drive. In this one, the engine IS easily identified as a modern V8... This was the one way I knew of that would allow viewing of the various component, so yes, this is in a wooden boat.


Anyway, I still think that gman's link has the best image for what I perceive you are doing. Maybe this helps too!


Good luck with the project, and hopefully you have what you need!

philwsailz,
thanks for the comment. It does provide good details. I just hope he can use it in his presentation and get a good grade.

You gotta post this thing.... I wanna see it

[jwanck11]

Didn't ya hear??? It was actually supposed to be about v-drives,

[wannabewakeboarder]

I did it on the evoloution of ski boats, So there was a little bit about V-drives in it. I needed a picture of a DD engine, Mostly an engine with EFI, Not really an MPI, But it will pass in here because I'm that only one who knows anything about boats in my school. Like I showed them the differance in a DD and a V and How far things have come since the first ski boats in the 50's

[jwanck11]

Was the basis of your report the evolution of the hull?
