High 80's with what other work done besides drives?

They removed the Vortec blowers and added Whipples.. Still about 750 hp but more torque with the Whipples

This boat runs in the 80's, high 80's that is with the top up full of fuel. Tracks better, steers better, gets on plane in less than 5 seconds and throws a rooster tail!!

Nuff said!!

Seems quick https://www.facebook.com/arneson.marine/videos/287382218302591/

RIK, I see that the owner now has his exhaust angled in to the water. Is this because of the surface drives? If so what is the purpose for this change?

Doesn't do anything for the Arnesons.. Just a Noise Suppressor at idle like Moorings pointed out.. I think Gibson was the one that started the trend??

Thank you guys. This boat is of great interest to me. Rik you and I have spoken via e-mail about me setting up my formula 400ss in a similar fashion. I refuse to spend any more money on Bravo's. This boat is running with similar power. You will be hearing from me soon.
