Yes for list pricing that is correct and it's a relative cost to what the options are out there from competitors products.

As for the investment, it does at least have a pay back in the way of better fuel mileage, a faster cruise speed, a higher top end speed, better handling and FAR less maintenance.
As for worth, well if the boat needs new drives then it's not going to be worth less than the boat would be if you purchased a Bravo or Bravo derivative from a Band Aid company that cost you speed, handling, fuel mileage, reliability and more $$ up front than the Arneson Kits cost.
At the end of the day, weekend or holiday, it's about boating anyways; not working on your boat because it's broken and your wife and family are upset because the boat is down in the first day of the holiday weekend and your spending your time working on the Bravo's and not spending it with your family having fun..

Once that is set, it's fairly easy to do so, it's all plug and play from that point forward. The Standoff boxes are pre-drilled for the hydraulic's and the drive, the backing plate is the rear engine mount which sets the engines alignment and height making it fairly simple to do the install as there's no gimbal bearing to align just install the bolts and your set.
