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.

Longer than a #6? I know a Bravo on a Box is 4" shorter than what is on this Cigarette. Probably very similar to a SSM#6

As for Swimming, we have a prop guard as shown in the photos. You can still kick the hell out of the propeller but you really cannot fall onto the top of the propeller from above with the guards on.

Rough water, that's a joke as some who as "unlimited jd" stated talk **** and have actually never been on a boat with Arnesons and probably most of them have never seen one in person. But as the democrats have proven, they have a right to their opinion right or wrong.:D

Truth is a Bravo (typical modern boat) has a the prop shaft about 3-4" below the keel. Meaning that any wave grater than 4" will cause the propeller to be out of the water. Kinda ridiculous when you think about that way isn't it.

The Arnesons for some reason, remain hooked up in the rough water better, strike that, far better than a Bravo does/can. So no worries about rough water as even Greg stated with his Cigarette.

Yes, I have the purple boat. Word was the boat was a handful. Truth, scary ride. We put 2 inch spacers on the lowers and took 1/2" off the diameter of the props. The boat is now bad azz and on rails.

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

I learned recently that the 2000 T/S that was built with #6's was not changed to bravos because of the way the boat ran, but the guy who bought it with no power or drives had smaller power/bravos to put in.

Jason told me yours runs pretty well. Bad ass ride. Hope I get a chance to get down there and see it.

He had a 35 fountain that caught fire, he used the engines and drives off of it when he bought that hull gutted
