There are no Warrantee's here . Just good and bad gambles
And how much you want to put up ! yes Rik $46,000 plus
Labor can buy better odds to gamble with . Most of us in the horse power range of this thread would like a good gamble
for less then that though ! That's why it is allways back to the drawing boards for us bravo players .

MY $.02

GOOD GAMBLING EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS, There's a guy in our area that has a 32' Skater with Arnesons and he keeps blowing them up. I believe Arneson has worked with him every step of the way but he's broken them quite a bit and had some downtime. I believe something in the tie-bar setup kept ripping off or something like that....

I've heard of people blowing stuff up, no matter what drive system they have; Imco, Max Machine, BMax, Teague, Arneson, Konrad et al.

That is Kenny Paddock and he cracked a tie bar mount. Far from blowing up.

Changed the mount and he is good.

That was 2 years after he purchased them so customer service is what is imporntant.

Cracked, blown etc...everything breaks, that's boating... I broke a $25 coupler and they all say I blew up... BTW, I did say the tiebar broke and did say you worked with him......

I was under the impression it broke more than once and a new one was being made out of Bronze/brass????? Why would it break, he only runs the boat in the bay.

Maybe the info he gave was incorrect? We all have our fair share of problems.
