Re: 353 whippled arneson. How fast?
 

Please forgive me for jumping in.
But if memory serves me right didn't "Blown Away" a 382 Formula have Teague Whipples and Arneson ASD-6's?
Maybe you want to get in touch with Rik Wimp over at Arneson for his input.
The article in Powerboat a few months back was very informative but I have not heard about the boat or the Durability of the Drives since.
Good Luck

no I nothing about the boat that would pre-empt your buy.

clean and straight as far as I know. :cool:

I believe that's a boat I made a fair offer on and was turned away that's all. So I'm curious as to how much $$ it did bring a year and a half later. :eek:

I have never heard of a 353 with Arneson's so it's very hard to speculate!

I've heard of 525/Stellings/Bravo netting 88-89 MPH with lots of prop-chasing.

Pure speculation...but you would think with 700+ HP a side and surface drives 95 MPH

Handling? Who knows?

No Joke,
The guys the VP of sales or something like that.
And a terriffic source when it comes to Surface Drives.
Best,

Re: 353 whippled arneson. How fast?
 

The 353 conversion with Teague motors ended up, I believe, using ASD-8 drop boxes instead of the ASD6 Bravo conversion. At least that is what I heard.

Re: 353 whippled arneson. How fast?
 

The 382 with the Teague 800's recieved 106 hard hours last season without a failure. The ASD6 Bravo Conversion Drives held up without a problem.

It was Tony's (the owner) first year without an outdrive failure.

As to what a 353 would do, ???. Same answer I gave Tony with his 382. More than likely a better cruise speed, better accelaration and a better top end like all the rest.

It's not a great unknown as we have been making these drives for over 20 yrs.

Re: 353 whippled arneson. How fast?
 

Rik, How about handling?
Ocean running..big water?
around the docks, etc.

How much power will ASD6 handle?

Thanks
