Has anyone set up an express cruiser using this transmission? Seems like it would work bolted on a Velvet Drive before the prop shaft and enable a boat to get on a plane quicker by allowing the engine to turn at a higher RPM using a higher pitch prop to get on a plane then shift to a 1:1 ratio once at planing speed to slow engine speed for cruising and high speed operation.
This is the rig that offshore power boat racers use.
