I don't know how to post a video from Facebook but from the owner's own post you can tell that he's more than happy!

Sadly, there won't be any direct comparisons, larger propellers and more power are going into the boat now.. Owner is putting a set of Whipples on the engines now so while the boat gained speed over the bravos and the bravo3's Jason wants more speed and with the reliability he has now he is going to up the power significantly.

I would be very curious of how the boat runs with the Whipples added. We need some pics & videos once completed. I would like to go this direction in the future. What would be the cost of the arneson conversion?

we started wheeling/buffing ours last weekend, wow there is a lot more surface then the cig has. looking forward to giving it lots of love this winter. we are also changing the canvas and going to strata glass. updating the radar & may put a larger add on swim platform.
