Thats not entirely accurate Johnny. The one that is on the straight bottom 28 AT works fine, it just didnt get the results that the owner was looking for. I ran next to this boat over the summer, it has a 600ci Ford N/A in it and runs in the mid/high 80's. Plus, it got on plane faster than my boat.

The owner was hoping for better speeds out of it, considering a bravo setup with the same power runs about the same speed. But he also didnt spend a lot of time dialing it in with props, he got one that was close and stuck with it.

Just pointing that out.

This boat was sold, does anyone know where it went or who bought it? I have a friend looking to purchase this exact boat for historical purposes. Hoping the new owner may have lost interest.

For him it is the arneson drive rigged to a 24 x7 hull from the start. This is a one of kind correct?

The guy just has a passion for the arneson boats of the era.

Hale Propellors in CT did the prop tuning on Geo's 18' Donzi, and they are also working on another Arneson project, a Magnum 27.
