That's a really nice setup!! #6's (No garbage NXT Trannies) and 700's in a TS Gun...

Do the Arnesons really stick out much more than a #6 or NXT Top Gun? If so why not cover them when swimming? Also - Why do you say they do not run well in rough water? Do the lose bite running the surface? I'd think you'd be much better off w/them instead of XR's. You could very well be idling w/XR's if they have some hours on them.

The TG in the pics looks good. Wonder how performance numbers turned out.

It's a joke, seems to be a common misconception and some preach it like they have actually had any experience.

I believe there were four built from the factory with #6's. There was a 2000 T/S that had the newer style dash but older style (simple) paint, Hot For Teacher, Heavy Metal Thunder (purple boat), and an all yellow Top Gun that was built new by National Marine w/Cobra Power.

Morning Smoke (mostly all red) was a 525/XR boat that was converted to big power/#6's. As Tank said, five all together.

You going to come up for the fathers day weekend event on LOTO,

As far as swimming they do stick out further the xr's that were on the boat. I have the prop guards which are great for protection and I have spent few hours sitting on them. When a group is around I have put prop covers on them.

The boat was in for bigger power and the drives to be installed last winter. Builder got off track and the 525's went back in to use the boat. I was spinning a 32 bravo prop at 84 mph with XR drives. With the wrong pitched props I was bumping revlimiters at 5600 only seeing 89 and still room in the sticks. I know there was more mph there just bought the wrong props for that set up.

New power is getting close at Sterling and then the prop game begins. Rough water not an issue....
