TOPIC: 1965 Wayne 100 restoration

Here we go! Its a 1965 Wayne 100...whats that?....A 1965 Glasspar Avalon powered by a 95 HP Corvair, designed and patented by Wayne Horning, designer of the 12 port Chevy and GMC head for drag racing. He built around 96 of these units for Glasspar and Tahiti hulls. I believe mine is an early version as the head and block numbers designate an 80 HP engine.
When I brought it home..trailer on a trailer

And the engine
This may take awhile to do but hopefully will be on the water next summer,,,and possibly towed to some car shows by either an 8 door Greenbrier or by my 140 Corsa.

So..the picture didn't post.still trying to figure this thing out

A little bit of forest

Some grime

After a scotch brite scrub

And a few holes in the floor

Great project...cool boat and unique powerplant. Nice add to the Corvair collection. Good luck!

What drive does it use?

This is all I could find on the patents for the drive. Fairly simple. It uses the ring gear and spyder gears from a Corvair differential.

The patent

I mean pinion gear...I will post a lot of pictures when I get the engine out

Some more engine dis assembly. Removing exhaust and engine baffles and bead blasting parts

That's very cool.

Where does the cooling water...oh wait

Please keep us posted...good luck!

wow! this is a very cool and unique project can't wait to see the engine rebuild
