Sure, its an overdrive 3rd planetary--custom made in 2010. I had it out for a bit and really only use it when I run alky. On gas settings it puts the net ratio a bit to high for the lower power setting. Not really a popular item but at the time 62 was the biggest gear I could get in the box. Now we have a billet gear box that accepts an unlimited value.

ok thanks.

Also the muffler style turn-ups help with noise any?

seems pretty quiet or is it the wind and video drawing noise away.

had a set made a while back similar to that thinking of using

Yea it has a 20 cell cat and mufflers Alex and David BORLA made up for us that quiets it down a bunch. The v drive howl is loud in the boat due to the shaft rpm. [emoji1303]

That's the thing - one guy can take that boat out solo and just go boating for a day.

Trying to manhandle big cats and v's onto and off beaches is a royal PIA, trying to protect 7K CNC milled props makes any kind of low water use a heart-stopping event best simply avoided.

then once you have it on the beach - you gotta get in and out of them which is a whole other level of pain.

A boat like this you can duck in and out of the little coves and go onto beaches - just go - within reason and considering its a v drive and go out and go boating and at the end of the day - on the way back, run away from anything like its chained to a wall.

What an awesome machine. That motor is a thing of beauty. I am always amazed when I see a Schiada run at high speeds at how well they handle everything from turns to wakes.

Awesome job Alexi.

I’m trying real hard to talk my dad into dumping his 21 Schiada with a wacker and going back to a V-drive.

In talking to Sean Gibson (Gibson exhaust) in Glamis his dad has a big twin engine cat he can take at will and I was always amused by what he had to say about it

- " babysitting this thing every time I'm with it on the water takes all the joy out of boating".

At what point are the (guessing 2.3L) blowers almost just in the way? Assuming they are there mostly for planing tq

They are not whipples they are Eaton rotors and are 112h compressors. Compound supercharging triples the efficiency of the chargers. Never a restriction unless mid matched setup [emoji1303]

Another rear cam video of the compound 21 trailing the compound 24 up river


Sent from my efi beacon!

Ok I am afraid to ask because I will have to break out the jizz mop and spend the next few hours cleaning my office but are there pictures/video of the compound 24?

So, it was brought to my attention that (of course as expected), a few haters or one really who of course excluded me from their posts were insinuating that our cameras was reading Kph instead of mph lol. For starters, if you swap to KPH, the logo does to, just try it yourself. It is a Garmin GPS action Camera. That would also mean my top speed is 50-80, however the hater must have failed math and been blind when I was running last week since Wed up n down the river, hell the guy may not even have a boat or not a worthy one or maybe was not even present which makes sense. I take it as good fun and its no big deal to me as I think of it as banter and its to be expected. My good buddy and I were just saying that when the boat was being built, these were the comments: IT WON'T WORK, IT WILL NEVER IDLE, IT WONT RUN OTHER THEN WIDE OPEN, THEY WILL NEVER GET IT TUNED, THEY WILL NEVER FINISH IT, IT WONT GO ANY FASTER THEN 105 BECAUSE SCHIADA BOATS STOP THERE NO MATTER WHAT, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE 2 BLOWER AND 2 TURBOS WHAT A WAISTE, THEY SAID IT WAS TOO HEAVY ALONG WITH A BUCH OF OTHER HATER MENTALITY DUMB COMMENTS FROM FOLKS WITH NO MERIT AT ALL. I KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT AND JUST POSTED, video of cruising, tubing, skiing, idling etc. frankly to be a annoying as really I did not care much yet I have proven all the bs banter wrong time after time with plenty of eye witness folks, folks who have been in the boat with there little iPhone gps etc but ok. Every once in a while I would post some type of video of it running randomly for fun.

Anyway, last week, I clearly made it public that I was going to be in Parker Wed-Sun AM, I made it public that I like to go out around 8 am, or early afternoon and again at the evening AND I DID each day! I also told several folks that I would be by Marina Village were I stay. There was even a random facebook and RDP video of me driving by Fox's like 4 or five times using the boat apparently I never use with 310 hours on it. That was Friday and I was being mellow even, I then drove the entire river several times to the Casino and back during the day Friday and Saturday besides Thursday etc. At no time did I see the Haters come out for a little fun?! At no time did I see these supposedly fast boats come out to play whatever they were or whoever they are! I saw plenty of nice Schiada's Friday and Saturday on the water and other types of Gn looking boats. Again, the Hater did not come play. Was just sitting behind his computer most likely. I guess some haters think they race for a few piss poor years and become the king of the river...ah no!

So, dear Hater, if your gonna post something about non believing bs, then show up especially if you follow me on the web. Don't talk shit and not step up. Don't hide behind your computer. Lets just call my boat a slow turd 50 mph boat, i'm good with all that, but I may pass you and now be a dick about it and compound the rebound now that I am retired from the magazine test insurance program and can play like a child. So, if your reading this, I'm totally good with all the fun banter, hater crap-actually its expected fun, if it becomes disrespect driven then beware as I am not afraid of much, I can drive my boat, will drive my boat and have plenty of experience if things get out of line.

Anyway, of course I know exactly how fast my boat goes and weather or not it handles well etc. About 6 months ago, I even posted some place on RDP my findings and was open about it as my goal is to get others information. I teach what I can as you may already know. I was asked to bring my boat to the Event and I drove 9 hours to get it, serviced it and drove 9 hours to be at my buddies boat shin dig. Fortunately I was able to run both compound boats and give my buddy Matt an opportunity to get familiar with his new animal. I wanted him to get seat time and he did, it was awesome.
Anyway, we were going boat to boat enjoying the river having a great time. Anyway, I prefer to label my boat as a 50 mph boat that does not work. or is it Knots?! feet per second, hell I dunno!!! LMFAO! You called me out, here I am and willing!

I am pretty much a watcher on the forums like others and don't post much, but oo! as my friend and builder I would not get him irritated, I am sure he has done Martial Arts his entire life and have personally seen him irritated at a bar against multiples. Yikes! He may surprise you.

It’s your boat Mr. Aaron they should try to pass before they worry about mph,kph,knots or any other non relevant crap, just go try to pass Aaron’s family boat! Some say they think they can but never try. He is present on the river all of the time and ? So although it has a hatch and Bimini now, I say try it still. And it’s a pump gas motor he chooses to run Av gas in. Just sayin!

Thanks! In fact they each are sweet and a bit different. Frankly I like all high performance boats regardless of the owners attitudes. Heck, at least we all have something in common, “Boats” [emoji1303]
