first all I am being light, hence all the little smilies. Helping people is one thing, helping people with bad and/or poor advice is another. Your bazooka to kill a fly method is old. As is your banter about Arneson drives, honestly your blind cheer-leading has probably turned more people off towards learning more about them and applying them properly because you think they fit everything, whether it be an alpha, an ASD, BPM or whatever if the hull and drive aren't compatible mechanically or dollar wise, then its not a good fit.. you sound like catmando and his Cummings advice so reach down untwist your undies and have a good night

Must have missed something along the way! How did this thread go from tow vehicles to an Arneson debate?

Ditto. I have several Formula 382's with Arnesons that run great but I never thought this tow thread was about that.

It was my fault, i Laughingly poked fun at offshore excursion for this post about people "pushing" a topic or an item that wasnt for every application and I pointed out his affection for Arnesons and he doing exactly like he was accusing others of. I guess he and Rik are a little sensitive, so I wont post on this thread anymore. But thanks to them for proving my point.

drillin is an engineer at FORD, CHEVY, DODGE, MERC, and every major boat manufacture, dont mind him he knows everything. If he says it it must be true.

I'm not sensitive; I just don't see your reasoning for the negativity. This thread as others have pointed out has nothing to do with Arnesons and you seem extremely sensitive to Arnesons for some unapparent reasoning and apparently "offshorexcursion" has brought this to light for people to see.

I do not know what experiences you have with them currently nor have had in the past but you cast the cloud of doubt for Arnesons in your post and you try to indicate this from a position of self-authority and expertise over applications exclaiming what limited applications exist for Arnesons. I am just confused as to why you feel the need to try and pick on Arnesons and state what they will or won’t work on when you honestly don’t know.

Other than this, choose a truck that can stop the weight of the boat and trailer even if the trailer brakes do not work. There is nothing worse than coming to a red light after one has retrieved the boat from a launch and with the trailer brakes are still wet and ineffective the light turns red for your direction and a pedestrian begins to walk through the intersection as you are pushing with all your might on the brake pedal locking up your tires and hoping to avoid a potentially bad situation. Power for hill climbing is very nice as also.
