    Thumbs up Engine Block

    It was a very interesting video. Anyone have a set up to build outboard powerheads? Amazing what modern technology comes up with in machinery.

    Default CNC Props

    Thats how Unlimited props are made too. The forging is about 150 pounds when it goes in the machine. A few days later its ready for about 10 to 15 hours of finish work!

    Ollhoff is making the reproduction 6 cylinder Loopers that way
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Pictures of Ollhoff's work being done? No.

    There are pictures of his finished work at antique meets, sitting on sawhorses ... he's a motor guy not a boat guy, so that is about as far as I expect him to go with the project.
