Check out the thread on Konrads - it's kind of radical but much less so than arnsons.

The Konrad's not radical at-all! I'm doing the conversion on miner now. The gimbals and drives bolt on with no mod. It's about as easy as it gets.

Talk to Rik on the board. Depending on the boat you can't go wrong with the Arnesons.

Hey Lofty,

What kind of boat are you doing the conversion on? Did you go with the 540's?

I talked to a guy the other day who had a 388 Hustler with Arnsons - the overall impression that I got from him was negative. They are reliable but I don't think he liked the way the boat handled with them - and forget about swiming off the back of the boat.

He's selling the boat btw.

The conversion is not radical at all. Certainly no more work than Konrad's as from a Bravo the bolt pattern is different.

We are faster and have less HP loss than a Konrad also!

We have a propeller guard now so one does not have to worry about jumping onto a propeller.
