The conversion is easy. You can do it in a weekend if you hustle.

I am not familiar with your boat. Spec's?

I am surprised you are not familiar with this boat?! Probably the most prolific "no compromise" speed hulls of the 20th century.

Sorry, don't have a clue. Any photos of your boat? Size?

Here is what I found when I did a google search.

Looks like it was designed for an outboard.
Doesnt look like there is any room for an inboard engine... unless you take out the back seat.

Looks extremely fast!

Right now I'm running single power, but considering a dual power set up...is this possible with the Arenson drives? I think I would like counter-rotating for more stability when traveling @ 100+ mph!

BTW- mine is just like the one in the link that Chris provided, except mine has been refinished in a carbon fiber look to keep it clearly modern.

Do you think they would be better than a couple Teague 1450 quad rotars?
