That is not true, almost every single person I have talked to that did the bravo conversion had to move the engines down in the boat, and/or fill the notch in the transom. Moving the engines down also means that new tailpipes have to be made or the existing holes have to be filled and moved.

The only situation whereby a notch would need to be filled would be on a Stagger setup as the notch doesn't have an effect on a side by side setup as the notch is basically non existent on the 35" centers. Did Hunter get a hold of you with the counter rotating ASD8's that he has and you've been searching for? |

Without reading all the posts/info available I ask..what power is the conversion rated for? They look great!
They are under rated for what they can take.lol 38 formula fasttech 950hp a side and 112mph and still not topped out yet.Rik knows the boat he can fill in the details on the drives but they're aad7's.and we're not ready on this boat at all. |
I have never seen an OSO thread stating..."Keep breaking my Arenson drive! What is my alternative ????" LOL
|
Or.......... "I installed an Arneson drive and it slowed my boat down".
We currently have 5 Arneson drive and 6 Mercury drive boats at the shop. Up until 6 years ago we had only worked on 1 Arneson boat. They are getting more popular. |
I am so happy I don't need to worry about these expensive drive conversions. My boat is perfectly reliable with xr's, of course it only has 500hp per side, but does 80 which is fine with me. These threads do make for interesting reading though.

Why did the Arneson not seem to work as good on that special edition Blue Fountain with Ilmor 725's? The 700/6 42's were a couple mph faster thought I read somewhere.

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

Did you make that? Last question just because I like to know these things even if I don't need to know. I assume after you set back of the engine you have to line the angle up before fixing the front mounts. What kind of alignment tool do you use? Is that something you source from RIK? |
