Sounds great and depending on how things go I'll be around the Casino or at the Bay.

I'll take a picture, it's about 1". The engines mounts were moved 2.5" forward. The concern we had, because of the Intercoolers, would we still have hatch clearance. As it turns out we had plenty of room.

Default Well..........

Somewhere within 15 minutes the port transmission failed and we limped back to the marina.

I contacted Rik and he said he will take care of it immediately.

What I learned in that short period of time, and I knew, is that the Arneson drives handle much different than the XR's. As I've heard, to get on plane, you need to find your "new sweet spot". Just when I thought I found my "sweet spot" is when I realized there was a problem.

Once it gets repaired and I'm back on the water and I get some good seat time, I know I will truly like the drives.

Wow, that's a bit of a bummer. Any idea what happened?
Glad to hear you are still optimistic about your new drives.

Were these used transmissions? How long did it take to get on plane or it broke before you got on plane?
