Arnesons work great on fountains.

I was heading this route a couple of years ago... I had the ASD8's with bid drops on it... You'll need to buy the true 45 degree spacers for them to obtain the correct angle coming off the transom. Rik helped me through the process... cost is about 2k each on the spacers give or take... Rik can confirm.

Hope this helps guys...

Just a question....if Arensons are so good...then why aren't they run on most of the fastest boats out there? Vee bottom record =#6. 90% of shootout class winners = #6/#8. Im not saying they aren't a good product and that they aren't fast...but there has to be something to the fact that the #6/#8 has/is dominates the majority of the top speeds attained by both vee's and cats.

Thoughts?

The top speed boats did not have Mercury product on them (cats). As to why the majority of the boats you see have the Mercury product, it comes down to the fact that we do not have an engine package whereas they do so it is easier for the boat manufacturer to sell a single power package than it is to sell a customer on a motor then an out drive on top of that. They just want to sell their boat.

Ask around of anyone has broke a #6, then ask the same question to arneson owners :lolhit:
