Setup!

If presented with an open checkbook, Arnesons would go on my boat... I had a guy named Hunter (NAS-T 39 Cat) also try to tell me Arnesons would not work on my boat, I just brushed it off as he didnt know what he was talking about and continued to listen to the rest of whatever he was saying. It seems that about 9-10mph can be had without any power changes...? Im not sure why the bravo conversions are so pricey, because it sure does seem like a good alternate. But who, aside from the richie rich, can afford to drop 25k each side on the kits?? Not me, that is for certain.

I have no problem with your application, rather your broad statement about V's when 98% of our applications are on V bottoms it is more than a little ignorant of a statement.
Go race against "Tilted Kilt, "Sheds Plus", "Lucas Oil" and others and see of they work on V's
The Powerplay's a damn good running boat and if you want to limit your reliability and speed with an I/O it's your choice but please don't cast negative shadows based upon your lack of experience.

Now, back on topic.

Your right, it was a broad statement, and for that I appolgize. That being said, on a straight bottom full stagger boat, where were going to need all the bow lift we can get, I dont believe surface drives would be the ultimate setup. My "lack" of experience(thats funny right there) leads me to that.
Now, back on topic.

I realize you have not seen a 33' Powerplay with Arnesons and thus the conclusion but that doesn't mean they would not work (and I am not advocating anything, just making a point) just that there are a lot of applications with straight bottom V's that work really well and the notion of one does not carry to all. We have a lot of straight bottom Cigarettes, Scarrab's, Sutphens, Hustlers and others that perform well beyond anything that was on there prior.

You don't need to explain the physics to me, I do understand them. I'm not going to sit here and argue on my thread about rigging my boat about your product. As I stated, you build a great product, I love em on a cat, they work well on step vee hulls, you'll never sell me on them on an application like this. End of story.

i don't know if you have the engines in or not yet, but was
wondering if you moved the port engine back a foot, or as far as possible how much rearward cg you'd gain ?
btw, you mentioned the stringers might not be high enough to mount the engines, how far apart are the main stringers and how high are they.
