PROROC Marine Technologies at Desert Storm

Press release 5/4/2010

FRISINI MOTOR SPORTS and PROROC MARINE TECHNOLOGIES had a great time at the DESERT STORM POKER RUN and SPEED TRIALS.

We elected to show up with the 36' Spectre Cat showing our new windshield - model outfitted with a couple of 900 HP engines, IMCO SCX upper drives and Mercury Racing Sportmaster lowers with Proroc #6 Prop Shafts and modified skegs as well as 16.5 X 40 Herring Props.


In the poker run we ran 160 + MPH filled with fuel and five people. After the poker run, we decided to run the radar shoot out which, everyone claimed was less than a mile but, we weren't concerned because all participants were required to perform the run in this manner in order for it to count. This gave us an excellent indicator of where we stood to the rest of the hardware present. We are very happy with the results. We managed to get three runs in. The best run was 138 MPH with a set of 16.5 X 36, 18 Degree Mercury props with only a mile to get to speed. The boat will run 170+ MPH.

The set up with the #6 shaft brings considerable speed to the boat due to the ability for higher X dimensions and lessened propeller slip, which reduces damaging harmonic vibration and extending drive life. Higher X dimensions not only reduce gear case drag, but also reduce the tendency to prematurely rock the boat over reducing the air volume entering the tunnel and increasing co-efficient of drag. This also works equally well on certain V bottoms. We currently have prop shafts available for the Konrad ACE drive which has a right hand and left hand prop shaft and #6 prop shaft for Mercury NXT drive which eliminates the twisting of the spacer coupling that aggressive drivers experience and the premature wear of the splines on the standard prop shaft.















The public is more than welcome to call us on all three applications as well as dealers inquires.
