We've done quite a few of the 25' Talons and the 26' AO (same boat) and they run really fast. There was one that just located to FL that runs in the 120's with 850 hp...

Don't know anyone with any success with the powerglides. They cost just as much but add a lot of length and heat to the equation.

Thanks, I might end up going that route this winter, I'm pushing ~640HP thru an XR right now, and babying her all the way, but I'm afraid it's only a matter of time...... BOOM! It would make a great winter project at Mystic!

Rik,
Pertaining to a twin,
If the Arneson drives are a direct fit, what if one has a boat that already has Imco Hydraulic steering, can it be used and save the cost of the new hydraulics?
What about Imco Stand off boxes, can they be used?
Just the existing Hydraulic steering and standoff boxes add up to a lot of money that could be saved.

My guess is the bravo conversion is not compatible especially since the extension box is custom to house the transmission.
Personally like all the new Arneson parts keeping the boat tight fresh and safer. Then sell your old parts.

The Arneson "Bravo Conversion Kit" is not an adapter rather a conversion. So the IMCO parts made for a Bravo will not work for an Arneson. Lucky, all the necessary parts are included in the kit.
As Kevin, stated you can sell the Bravo, IMCO or whatever is currently on the boat to recover some of your cost.
