Arneson or SCX
#31
The damage to the hull wasnt that big ! I was there !! Dont get me wrong here Rik ! I think Arneson an other surface drives are great ! But with a small stephull like the Bat you have almost a fixed runningangle tru the water ! And therefore i think the Arn. lift the stern to much. The drive isnt the problem the boat is to short !!
Now when Christer is driving with double ext. box The boat runs great in a straight line , But in turn it looks scaary ! The best drive for the bat is the volvo DPX-r Its like driving on tarmac with slicks ! sorry little oftopic there !

The boats bottom is not the same. Ocke would not advise him to do anything to it and it needed a tune up. I've seen the photos and the boat runs nose down. This is why he added all that weight to the rear and he extended it so far. Poor balance or terrible bottom??? 28' V is to small for a drive that heavy and long without a reason. The DPX will never hold up nor go over 100 like he wants so that is out.

I am doing some engine mods on my 2005 Kryptonite over the winter 1000hp plus. I am torn between upgrading my SC extreme upper for a SCX or going with an Arneson. Looks like the Arneson will cost me an additional 12K or so. I would hope for the 12K I would get better reliability and some more speed. Anyone do a Arneson on a smaller V hull? Mine is a 27 with a platform its called a 29.

I have a full Arneson ASD-8/ SCS package. Any parts from the drop box can be bought right now from SCS. Any parts for the ASD-8s can be bought from twin-disc. You can completely avoid the difficultly of getting parts from Arneson, yet still have Arneson drives. If you are interested, I have them for sale in the classifieds. They are way cheaper than a set of SCX drives and much stronger.
