I went from TRSs to the 1600 Arnesons and saw 20mph gain, but I was hitting a wall with all the drag from the deep TRS setup.

Did you buy new or used drives for the conversion?

DrGaryDC. I prefer to run the props out which is backwards for Arnesons. The boat handles well until a little over a hundred then you gotta pay attention. I don't thinks its an Arneson issue, I think the 1986 Cigarette is about maxed out.

cougarman. These are old drives off of one of Gentry's race cats.

Panther. I never dynoed them but my guess would be a little over 800hp a side.

Im curious what my 86 apache would do with arnesons or even dry sump 6's. Still has the old SSM 3's and runs just under 100, approx 800hp
