Racine is my home town... actually Caledonia... great looking boat.. and the Arnesons look awesome.. By chance are your motors staggered. Thanks Jeff

Kris,

Your boat looks awesome with those drives!!! Any chance you know where another set is?? Also, are you using the 16" offset or is that 10"? I like the way you angled them in, it looks like they are now about where a staggered installation would be. Was that your intention? Thanks again for the help...

Jeff,
I used to live in Caledonia near Wind Point. Now I live out near Waterford.

The motors are side by side.


Sam,
I don't know where another set are, but talk to Rik he may know. Mine are a custom set, they are counter rotating.

I have the 16 inch drop boxes with angled wedge plates for mounting them at an angle on an angled transom. My prop shafts are at 17.5 centers ( I was hoping for 18 when we rigged).

I usually like 5's on boxes or 6's, but creating a "staggered" application with the Arnesons seems like it could be a better choice for max speed.
Try to compare speed and hp figures with kvogt and others.

such a awesome conversion! I love the look of the new ASD7.
Everything is incorporated into the ext box. Steering and all!! What a deal!

Chris you know my Dad Bob Stone... I bought Dave Menou's old Cig named Trespass! Check out a couple pics of it now! I re rigged the entire boat. The thing looks brand new! I want more info on your conversion. Engine size, prop size, gear ratio and cruise and top speed with rpm stats! I am going to do the new ASD7 with a set of 650-700hp tall decks next year!
