Re: Arneson Surface Drives/ Hull / HP / Speed ??
Are there any boat manufacturers that install Arneson surface drives as standard equipment ?
Caveman I think your drives are closer together than what mine will be. ??
So what boat are you going to buy, if you sell yours?
Have you had any problems with those drives or steering combo setup?
How long have you owned that boat
I don't think my hull is near as effecient as others. With 500 hp per side on bravo ones 1.5 gear ratio with 24 Hydros we could only get 78
So with that info were will we be? New hp 660
??? 117 - 78 = alot more money

The boat dosn't belong to me.It's a customer of mine.We installed the Arneson Drive's drives last spring.
Every engine oil change we had to do something to the drives also,at that time the motors were 750hp.My customer decided to add the drives for more reliability and at that point added intercoolers.We did the Poker Run Miami to KW in november beat on them no problem.You may be supprised what these will do for your boat they handle well,if I were setting up a Big HP boat this would be the way I would go.

Re: Arneson Surface Drives/ Hull / HP / Speed ??
Are there any calculations that I could run to determine which props I'll need? We tried to do that last year when we went from 454s to 502s. I was told we would go up 3 prop sizes, we ended up back with the same props after all the testing.
Caveman - Congratulations, whats your next one gonna be?
Did you let the prop shaft adapters go with the boat? If not, I'll buy them. I take a pair or two of your props but I don't know were I'm going to be yet.
32storm- Whats your boat have in it?
Fishead - I may be interested, what are you looking to get out of those?
Doug - So every oil change you had to repair something on the drives? Tell me more
