--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ASD7 differs from the ASD6 with a stronger case, an improved steering system, bigger internals, and a different rudder configuraiton.

These changes have allowed us to raise the power level for the ASD7 to 850 hp.

Wiggler, My buddy did a recent conversion to the Konrads on a 42 Sonic. They have been working great, and the customer service is good also. Always available for qustions, you won't need them for problems. Good Luck

Im sure they work good on heavy boats... but not sure on a light hull cat.

Custom,
Can you post some pics of your finished ride? Yours is EXACLT how i want to set up my 36. I have one of the rare non-notched NT's so its almost begging for the ASD conversion.
