I'll be surprised if it works well. A friend of mine spent a lot of time and $$$ installing a single Arneson 6 on a 32 Sunsation. The boat was very un stable and almost out of control at 70 mph. He was so disappointed he spent more time and $$$ and switched to a konrad drive.

The boat looks great. I hope you have better luck than he did

Would you be suppressed or surprised?

I would think comparing the two boats is apples/oranges. Isnt the sunsations bottom vented and notched? Besides, the skeg on this drive is huge and messing with props can fix most anything.

Even if he did hit a 100, getting on plane was just one of the issues.

Sydwayz ….. I really hope the AT runs well for you, please keep us posted with the results.
