Default arneson drives on tiger

Was thinking of replacing my bravo xr's in the spring with the arneson drives but not sure how it will effect the way it handles. If anyone has some experience with these it would help. Also looking for someone in the north east that can do the conversion.
Thanks

Don't know about how it will handle but Kolor Craft in Syracuse NY has installed a few of them

I posted the same question but went directly to RIK from arneson. I like the tigers and there were a couple deals but I didnt want to have the bravo xrs. It would be a nice conversion with a pair of 525's gas and go................... I planned on selling off the ITS boxes and drives to re coup the $$ but its still 50-60k either way.

I figure I can sell off my current hardware for 10-12k to help but still need a deal on the arnesons.
I figure if I keep the boat for 10 years it will pay for itself.

How do the NXT drives hold up?

What about selling your rig and buying the tiger with 900s and 6s in the classifieds? I don't know the boat but it looks bad azz. Yours may be killer as well. Just thought I'd mention it.

I think if you also get some of the Arneson type tabs that bend and give rocker to the bottom of the boat to lift the bow you should be fine . hopefully Rick will chime in soon

That's a new one on me, could you elaborate?

They look really cool and throw one heck of a rooster tail.

Marginmn, did you put the conversions on or were they on the boat? Just wondering your opinion the pro's and con's of the kits. I have a set in the boxes still and I am on the fence to install or sell them.
