the 38 asd Hustler I drove back to back bravo boat was great. It actually docked better, steered about the same..but took about 2 seconds longer to plane up..once it hooked up it took off..you felt comfortable pushing the throttles foward, faster as it accelerated quicker..the fear factor of blowing up was removed..just my .02..

Has anybody done a side by side comparison between ASD's vs. XR or #6, same boat same power etc... It would be interesting to get real world numbers on speed, acceleration time and so on.
i.e. 42 Fountain with twin 700's. 1 with NXT vs. ASD 8 top speed comparrison?

The test infor is out there. Powerboat has tested the 42 with ASD 7's or 8's with Ilmor power and they've tested the 42 with everything from 4.3 V6's (not really) to 1075+hp on #6's. Someone just needs to do the legwork to get the info pushed out.

I have a 32 Skater with Arnesons. Boat runs extremely well. Boat has 580 ci normally aspirated. Arnesons or number 6 are both nice.
The number 6 has a monel shaft. It rusts after 2 seasons and you get water in the oil in salt water. The Arneson is stainless prop shaft. You have splay weld a stainless collar or replace the number 6 prop shafts every few years. Salt water is harsh.
