Thanks for trying to understand where I was coming from and all the nice comments. I like chatting with you on here and look forward to hearing more updates on your boat! Your experience with b max drives is super impressive and almost changes my opinion on them. But i still will never own a drive with xr gears in it again! I boat 120 hours a season crossing lake michigan to Wisconsin often. Reliability is a must. Out here we get 12 to 15 ft waves often and limping back on 1 drive is not an option!

Every last person on oso has something in common... The love of our boats. No need for us to beat each other up. I came here for the first time 7 years ago when I bought my first boat, and like I said in my book the other day- some of my greatest ideas for my project started here. Now get back to work, I'll expect a pleasantly narrated version of my book on cd by weeks end sir. You may title it Shish boom bah, rah rah rah- the fine art of electronic cheerleading! Now someone needs to start another interesting thread for us to follow, this one seems to have run it's course with mytiuk deciding on a new boat with arnesons...

Btw, mytiuk- congrats on the new addition to your family! Hope to here some details about her soon!

There are two ASD8 (with 33" Rolla cleavers) in new to me boat now.

Older one has pair of TRS.

Never ever change my Arnesons any bravo style XR/Bmax drive.

Just driving a few times now and has not any problems via handling
when comparing older boat TRS.

In so many ways... Yes.

BTW. Been reading your last posts. You seem like a cool fella, I know this is not our thread, so if you have time, pm me a little info about your scarab. I've had one:)

So whats this new boat with arnesons??

You runnin' drugs???:eek::drink:

Well canada is really close! J/k But smuggling cubans for 10k a head sounds easier. Put 68 hours on the cruiser this season. Pulled it out today and now the weather forcast is high 70s for the next week! Gonna have to look for some big waves for the jet skis!

What would you like to know?

Just some general info about setup, likes and don't likes ect. I had a great time with mine, and one of my wifes friends husband owns her now. So I still see it a few times a year. When he and I meet, we still wrench and fiddle around with it. I just think it's fun to gain some knowledge about what others have done ect.

Rik should offer up a pair of his Arnie drives, the bravo swap units!
As I cannot afford to buy new drives I'll offer up my boat to be the test mule.
An in-depth write up can be followed here on OSO, would put a lot of "opinions" to rest I'd imagine.
When can I bring you my boat??? (one can dream right??)
