Yes, back in the mid to late 80's I saw a 370 with Arnesons parked behind a liquor store in Nashville, TN. I was a rather strange looking rig. The drives were on drop boxes and angled toward the center line of the keel. They were rather deep in the water.

I think your boat is too small for Arnesons.

Advantage: They don't break

Dis-Advantages:

Where to start?
UGLY
Dangerous and not swim friendly
UGLY
Expensive Props required
UGLY
Expensive
Did I mention UGLY?

Honestly they are a great product. I have a friend that had them on a Fountain 38 Sport Cruiser and even though Fountain said they would work and they usually do work with stepped hull boats he was slower then the same boat with Bravo's.

I would stay away from them myself.
