I'm doing an arneson on new 29 cat right now and in the process of figuring things out I'm pretty sure I ran across that set up. You should call eliminator, I want to say they may have rigged one like that.

and for someone who asked about props. We just made the decision last week and it comes down to this.......

Cleaver vs The more inexpensive prop options. The cleaver is far more expensive, double or triple if not more in some cases. The cleavers can be hard to track down to test, it's been a headache for us. Not many people stock these things and to order one exactly to your specs may take up to 3 weeks (we're doing hering). But, when set up properly it will pay dividends in mid range and top end. I got the impression from everyone I spoke to that it's the superior option. So I guess the extra performance and the few extra dollars are justified to me by knowing I did it right the first time.

there may be useful info on this thread for you.......

I'm sorry for the confusion, but it is a "Conversion Kit" not an adapter kit so the kit allows you to convert from a "Bravo" or any I/O to an Arneson. The same kit works for Bravos, Alpha's, TRS's and others.

You would not use any components from the Bravo at all. Rather you would, if you had them, remove all the Bravo componentry and install the Arneson Conversion Kit in its place. All the necessary, bolts, nuts, washers and such are included in the kit.

Propellers, depends upon the boat size. I prefer the "Speed Master" style propellers on most applications but there are applications where the Bravo style propellers work far better.

I have a customer with a 06’ 30’ Eliminator Daytona. I do not know how similar the two boats are though.

Like I've said before, you don't want to know how fast you should be going with your power. You have a lot of speed potential in that boat and it is real easy to achieve with the right setup.

I made a new housing last year for the smaller boats to be able to use a more economical propeller, but for your boat I would stay with a Speedmaster style although one could try it both ways.

I do not have a specific conversion on a 42' Fountain, but I know that the race boats with the same Ilmor engines and one with Arnesons and one with Mercury SSM#6's, the Arnesons are 7-8 mph faster on top end and turn way better.

Bravos would be an even larger difference in speeds across the board.
