I installed arneson asd7m's on a 343 last year. The customer got tired of the bravo blues. The boat has 525's with 6-71 blowers on it. It ran low 80s with the bravos. With the arnesons we are getting 91 on GPS and still hitting the rev limiters hard. It's a fun boat because nobody expects it to run that good!

Why are there so many cool 343 projects in this thread yet no pictures?

Chadzilla 04-05-2014 06:05 PM

I will post some pics as soon as I can recover the photos from my darn phone

The "sleeper" aspect is by far the best part.

Nascat, the boat in Ohio you are referring to, is that the 343 that lives on Buckeye Lake? John R. who has a son named Corbin?

NASCAT 04-24-2014 01:31 PM

Team Saris has been working on 1 of the 343's & ChadZilla makes mention of another w/ Arnesons but I have no clue where that one is or who it belongs to. I was simply stating there have been lots of posts (nearly 50 over 5 pgs) & not many pics.

This is the post I was referencing, I know the 343 that lives on Buckeye lake has Sterling power. I will get a few pictures of it in the next few weeks.

Ah yes, Randy Hartman turned me on to the boat. The bilge pics he sent showed Sterling stickers on the engines. Never heard any more about that boat nor did I inquire. Seemed to be very clean & in great condition. I really like the ILMOR powered boat best for the power & the color or lack of color. The white just looks very clean & timeless.

It sounds like my buddy's dad's boat, extremely clean, lives in a boat house all summer.

I found the file / pics I had. It's named John Reichert (sp??)
Appears we are speaking about the same boat.

I wanted a boat w/ the tower, windlass, Gen-A/C which I don't believe this one has.

Nascat, that is John Ricker's boat. It's a beautiful and shoot a huge roost,

NASCAT 04-24-2014 09:08 PM

Throws a rooster tail w/ Bravos??

Shallow lake and yes it's at least 10 ft higher than the boat. I'll get pictures of it in a few weeks.

NASCAT 04-25-2014 07:35 AM

Interesting, didn't think Bravo's were capable of that. Heck my Skater doesn't throw them that high unless I trim it way up. I get dual tails since my props spin outward.

The 343 ive ran throws some roost too. Fairly high X on these boats
