ok Jamie thanks for the info, I would really like a arneson, but they are very hard to find used, then I would be able to beat on it like a rented mule......................but yes I will certainly have to ease up on the sticks................

I have them on my 33AVS and they have around 400 hours on them although they do need some work now. and I am having a tough time trying to decide how to proceed. As to speeds, my boat will run into the low 90s.

I can tell you this with certainty, if you are thinking of using the DPX like a Blackhawk in a surfacing type application, DO NOT! They were not intended for that and it will not hold up.

thanks Scarab Man, I hoping to get one season out of the drive before upgrade. I will have to keep the back of the boat in the water for sure. I only plan on using it as in the water only, hopefully no airbourne use and if make sure to pull back on the stick before launching I am hoping under normal accelaration out of the hole and pampering the drive it will get me by for now.
