Pics of how I made the boat. It is a replica of a 1934 Gar Wood. All wood parts are cut out with my CNC router.

Holy **** I think I love you...

 

dude that's awesome as hell. Man that Marine Rotary sounds beautiful. I so want a rotary boat now LOL

 

I love that that's on the Savannah River.

 

I grew up on the Savannah River in Augutsa, GA.

 

Rotary or not, your craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing, beautiful work. I would like to know more on the engine specs if you don't mind.

 

Wait until you see the project Tom and I are cutting on the CNC Router this winter

 

Clicking on the Photobucket link above reveals scans of all the tech sheets of the engine.......

 

Tom, Whens Lunch?????? Been overloaded with the crematory on Fridays; hopefully on the 20th we can meet for Chineeses!!!!

 

Saw them, I want more onfo.

 

that is truly amazing craftsmanship. Props on a truly one of a kind peice of equipment.

 

Truely beautiful!

If only my 16 foot'er wasnt an outboard......

 

The company that marinizes it, Rotary Power Marine used to have a website but no longer. I think they are still in business though. Anyway, they have a contract to get new Mazda blocks from Japan. They use the Turbo II block with mechanical OMP. This engine, the naturally aspirated one (I have two of their FI supercharged versions on the shelf) has a Racing Beat intake and 4bbl Holley marine carb 450 cfm. I am still dialing it in at present, originally it had a two barrel on it with a different intake. I took apart an unmolested Racing Beat 465 cfm to get a baseline on the carb, still playing with the jetting.

It also has a 1.5:1 reduction gear to reduce propeller shaft speed and increase torque.

Personally, I think the 175 hp rating is optimistic.

 

Thanks for filling in some of the blanks. If you don't mind, how pricey are these engines, both the NA and SC versions?

 

im not into boats much, but that was soo beautiful I think I might be

Its how my perfect world should be, ROTARIZED!!!

 

Last I checked they were pricey. $8500 for the naturally aspirated one like I have (I negotiated a better deal 3 years ago) and $12k or more for the supercharged. If you are interested, I will sell one of my supercharged ones (low hours used on a prototype boat then removed).
