I agree the Arneson is the clear way to go, but once you add in props and some applications having to fill the transom step, it can become a little more expensive of an option. If the money is of no concern, I'd go with the Arnesons.
Regardless, doing some type of 'conversion' BEFORE the factory bravo goes south is the smart way to go... at least this way you can recoupe some your money by selling it while it still has some value. |

99% of applications do not have any issues with a notch! Also you have to purchase propellers regardless of which out drive you use and we offer two different propeller hub choices, Bravo and Speedmaster.

What is the pros and cons of each prop? IF you have the Arnerson surface drive.
Rake: The Bravo styles have much much more. Diameter: The Speed masters have the edge by far Bite: Speed masters Cost: Bravo's |
Thanks RIK,
So if someone is think of or doing the bravo conversion on a boat that hasn't been done how do you go about determining which style to go with? |
Size and power.. Smaller boats are best for the "Bravo" style housing and the larger boats run best with the cleavers.
|
It appears most think Arnerson is the way to go. Does anyone have any negative points?

Never seen that before. How is that done? Sorry if this is a stupid question, just can't figure it out. |
There really are no negatives to the arneson. There are some minor negatives to "surface drives with cleaver style props" but nothing specific to the arneson. ALL new, fast, powerboats run surface drives and there is a reason obviosly!

Excursion! how are the Arnesons coming along on your boat? have you had a chance to run them yet?
