The kit was delivered as a fixed kit with the cylinder on the port side from Arneson (premounted brackets, service holes, fittings etc). We had to rebuild a lot (make new brackets, drill a new service hole etc. ) to get it on the starbord side...... The amount of turns is the same.

75MPH so far. But just started testing. We have about 35% slip.....

We have a job to do dialing her in.
She seems to handle turning very well. No big difference from the Bravo XR. The speed drops a bit offcourse
when turning, a little more than the Bravo.

No, they tried to combine the exhaust and the swimplatform but it did not work. Exhaust goes throug its own holes on each side. They kept it this way as a design gimick.
