Anyone run Konrads on a cat or other 100+mph ride?

Researching reasonable drive option for a cat with 800hp and keep coming back to Konrads but you don't find much on them other than on big heavy vees.
Anyone have these on a boat running over 100mph? Or on a cat? Be curious to see how they've performed.

Why not go with Arneson #7M's and have a super strong drive that will ad extra speed over a normal Bravo XR style drive, instead of running a drive that will weigh more, be slower than an XR (with same power) and possibly not as strong? I highly doubt a complete Konrad setup will be much cheaper than the ASD#7M. Also with the Konrad you will have to run Bravo style props, and they throw blades like mad when surfaced. It is also more than 200lbs lighter than a #6 pr. drive.
Just an opinion.
Good luck with the project.

We've got a customer with a 34' DCB cat that has enjoyed fantastic results (5 seasons zero failures) with his Konrad ACE packages/800 Teagues. The boat runs 130 at 7% slip but they are mounted somewhat deep for a cat at .5" below the hull. The present generation gear case works best below the surface.

What is your budget and have you talked to Rik about what an ASD setup will cost?

There is resale too. A 36 Skater with ASD's is a much much more attractive boat for a potential buyer than when fitted with just about any other drive out there. Of course dry #6's are nice too.
