The boat looks great. I hope you have better luck than he did |
Isn't there and old Sanger Tunnel that runs a turbine and single Arneson running around in the Bay Area?

There is a guy on Donzi.net who's doing it to a 21 either it's a GT or a Hornet, I can't remember which. He's been at it now and then for over six years. He just recently bought himself a Donzi 22 Classic, so I wouldn't look to see progress move faster now days. :)

The question is... why?
Is he running big power? And no point on doing sbc's w/ arnesons... bravos will be fine. |

Stormrider - I was thinking the same as CUDA. 10% more speed with the same power and still have reliable power. Efficiency is also a big thing.....er..should I say less gas.
Python82 has a surface drive on his 24 python. He liked it quite a bit. |

Back in the 80's we got 129 mph of those. Fun boats. |

I don't understand why there is always a confrontation when someone brings up surface drives....specifically Arnesons. There is a right drive for every boat and multiple drives work well on many boats. If you've never driven a boat with Arnesons, I highly recommend it. I've driven boats with TRS, Bravos, Imcos, #3's, #5's, and Arnesons. They all work well on different boats. I own a 30 Sutphen right now with twin small blocks and Arnesons. It handles AWESOME!!!!!!! It gets on plane with a quickness, It hauls a$$, it throws a kick a$$ rooster tail, and it docks like a champ. My hull is one of those examples that would also work well with Bravos, which are great drives, but I wouldn't give up the Arneson for anything......
Sorry for bit(chin but DAMN! I really hope the AT with the single runs well.:boat: |

This one is just being completed; and will begin dial-in shortly: So how did it run? The boat looks finished.What power is in it? It should be interesting to compare the speed diff if stock power to a bravo set up. good luck and keep us posted:D |
