order the boat with arnesons in the first place and save the hassle lol!

Yes for list pricing that is correct and it's a relative cost to what the options are out there from competitors products.

Without reading all the posts/info available I ask..what power is the conversion rated for? They look great!

I don't understand the logic. I'm not knocking the product(Arneson). 50 grand plus props.... What's the boat worth before? after? No offense to anyone.

Questions Not

If you are in it for the "worth" you wouldn't understand.

Worth? Logic and boats is relative to common sense and women.

As for the investment, it does at least have a pay back in the way of better fuel mileage, a faster cruise speed, a higher top end speed, better handling and FAR less maintenance.

As for worth, well if the boat needs new drives then it's not going to be worth less than the boat would be if you purchased a Bravo or Bravo derivative from a Band Aid company that cost you speed, handling, fuel mileage, reliability and more $$ up front than the Arneson Kits cost.

At the end of the day, weekend or holiday, it's about boating anyways; not working on your boat because it's broken and your wife and family are upset because the boat is down in the first day of the holiday weekend and your spending your time working on the Bravo's and not spending it with your family having fun..

Does the kits come with something like a bravo drill jig? You know for the cut out and new mounting holes.

They come with a drill template if that's what you mean? It has no reference to a current Bravo hole as the Bravo holes can be up/down from boat to boat and even same boat to same boat with a different Bravo style can have a different X, (ITS, Standoff Box, etc..) and for the Arneson it has no relation to the current X dimension as I only want the Arneson put in a location relative to the boats bottom.

Once that is set, it's fairly easy to do so, it's all plug and play from that point forward. The Standoff boxes are pre-drilled for the hydraulic's and the drive, the backing plate is the rear engine mount which sets the engines alignment and height making it fairly simple to do the install as there's no gimbal bearing to align just install the bolts and your set.
