I think it would be a great size boat for twin LS motors and your drives...would definitely be cool. I cant speak for how the boat runs but I can say it is most likely not the drives fault if the boat isnt running 90+. I have been told they are a heavier hull and I know it is a true 29'.

Arneson Drives are first class top notch drives. I would put one on my boat in a second.
As far as that hull goes, It appears to be riding too wet in that video and may not have been the best choice for this combination. I feel bad for the owner of this boat,he most certainly got a raw deal! |
I had a 17/21 arneson on my 27 v and it ran great. It was a little tougher to dock than a stern drive and the draft was a little deeper but was very reliable. I have always been a fan of turbines and Howards early days experimenting with the turbine and drive combo on a sanger really inspired me.
As luck should have it, I found a 29 Sanger with OMC v8 outboards that was retired from racing called Double Vision. I bought the boat and converted it to a pleasure boat. The twin brothers who raced the boat bought it new and when they picked it up in California, Jim Davidson took them for a ride in the turbine powered boat that came out of the mold just before theirs. Bernie Little bought that boat and it is the famous Arneson boat. I had to recore most of it but it was worth it to me because of it's heritage. I still have my old arneson drive and the twin turbo small block and intend to install it in the Sanger when I have time. I will post pictures when I learn how. |
