So if a guy was going to re-rig a mid 700hp Bravo boat would you go WSM or Arneson?

The vertical shaft has some advantages in your comparison also. Not saying it's not good but just saying don't believe the brochure 100% as there is a reality beyond the hype. The parasitic drag is minimal in comparison to the hydrodynamic drag. The Weismann looks more like a kaama And Pat Weismann's Father, so I was told designed the Kaama Drive. . Hmmm . wonder how Merc. liked that drive |

Truth be told Pat dry sumped the IV drive for Victory long before the VI. Drive looked crazy had hoses externally on the drive to pump the oil. And the reason Merc didn't do a full drysump is you have to modify the gimbal and run an internal oil tank.

The new Arneson will not need the external trans, might want to wait for it.

As we speak my boat is being converted from Dry sump sixes to Weismann WMD's. The upper gears in the sixes do not last behind the turbines. Usually failing somewhere between 10 and 40 hours. I will let you guys know how it goes.

I'm planning a large project in the future. I'm going to sell the htm ss24 in the future. It runs good now 102gps with 650 hp. But looking hard at the nordic 28ss and putting my new motor in it. 1350hp on 93 and about 1700hp on e85. I think the WMD is the only choice. I just hope it will work well on a single engine 28cat boat like the 26 eliminator Daytona I have seen on the net. |
