The Arnesson's are proving to be the real deal thus far. I'll post some videos when I figure out how to post to youtube.[ATTACH=CONFIG]561048[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561049[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561050[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]561051[/ATTACH]

WOW....20 MPH gain? Where did you start and end up on speed? Did you make any others changes besides the drives?

I actually bought the boat after the drives and motors were installed (not sure I could have stomached that bill, after I saw all of the receipts). I had it taken down and re-rigged, painted, and interior done to my color scheme. As for speeds, I am still working on that. I will have a better idea in a few months. I too couldn't believe the increase in speed just by swapping props out. Good thing we took pictures!!! The best part was with the smaller diameter props it didn't even feel like I was pushing it yet, it was nice and smooth.

Well, if we're talking top speed in a twin step Top Gun, I have cruised (in fresh water no less) at 120MPH with my current wheels on M8 Drives with QuadCam 1100's in my Gun. It's a custom built "one of one" Cig 39 from 2012. The boat has more speed with different wheels, but I am content with this set up which adds great handling and safety. The boat is no nonsense at 110mph https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/img_1080.mov Not many V bottoms can out accelerate me from 40 mph to 120. Just saying. The video attached was a fuel burn before pulling the boat for the season a few weeks ago and I was doing around 100mph

Brent, video's look awesome, you did a great job with your boat! What have you seen top end and cruising speeds? Like your valve covers, will have the same soon. Any trouble getting on plane with the 17.5 compared to the 18inch?

Your boat is going to run great with the new power
