Rik im curious have you done any bravo conversions on 42 Fountain stepped hull and what was the results?

The 42' Fountains run very well with Arnesons. What power do you have?

Ok will do. What ride difference would you expect to look for with them running out versus turning in ?

500hp right now the boat run right at 80 what kind of increase would i be looking at. and does the transmission fit in the stand off boxes or the inside?

Your best bet is to buy some wet 6's for 35k or go with the arnesons for 45k. Both will be bulletproof for your application,

:lolhit:

there are some used Arneson setups for sell in oso classifieds. I do not know if they are complete kits or condition of them. But never hurts to check into.

Our B-Max on a SVL Big engine was faster. Never broke and even won 1st overall on Saturday in St Pete 2001.

Did you do anything special to the lowers? I thought I heard somewhere they had come out with a poker run version lower which looked more hydrodynamic.

Their new lowers are more hydrodynamic for sure. John spends hours hand shaping each one now. Definitely a work of art.

gears
 

too bad someone just want cut some bravo gears out of a stronger metal. what would happen if a person could buy gears for their imco scx upper and sc lower with gears made from Titanium, inconel or even Tungsten carbide? i know they would be very pricey but strong as heck, the last very$. there are many other very strong metals that would fit the bill. i would pay 3 times (or more) $ for hard gears! if the gears are the major weak point, build them stronger. maybe im just missing something and should buy the scx lower thats shaped like a sperm whales head! someone please set me straight:angry-smiley-038:
