Yes they are....We had a set of 525's in our 38 Top Gun F-2 T/S Cigarette "Lucky Strike"

I've also decided to put a new complete interior in the Gladiator. The original one was nice, but 17 years old.

Also decided to add new Transom Assembles to go with the new drives

He's going to be pissed off when he takes the first ride and sees how much better it handles (with this drive / prop set-up) vs what he has on his! 10 to 1 he converts! :-)

Maybe true, but you’ll have a reliable, fast, sweet-sounding, bad-ass ride.
