In 1989 Robert R. Eakin received a U.S. Patent for his invention which is the Airboat Belted Reduction Drive Unit. This drive unit is a belted transmission that was designed for airboats which will attach an automobile engine and the propeller. The belted drive unit allows the engine to achieve its maximum sustainable rpm’s while turning the propeller at its normal rpm to increase thrust and reduce the noise levels. Century Drive Units Inc. continues today to manufacture the quality products that airboat users have come to expect and trust.
