The engines stayed in their original location with that boat. They are on a drive line setup. I rate them at 850 but there are a lot of guys with 1,000 hp running them. That Nortec had 525's and they are going to add a Whipple to them and make ?? 700?? Pricing? Start to finish including trans? email me if its better suited for you. - A. [email protected] |

Both have way different power also. 525's vs 1050's. Fountain4play is converting his hull, Supposedly hull #1 over from Bravos and he has a notch that is different sized than the notch that is on the one in these photos. I guess they tried a few different configurations before they got it right. There is an insert in the mold I belive to make the notch. The 525 boat was not affected by the notch for installation so I don't see it being an issue as far as performance is concerned. |
how about handling and running attitude being affected by the notch: X-dim, flow to the props, etc.

They said the boat ran fine. They never mentioned any concerns with the notch. They sea trialed the boat in FL and it ran 85 mph tops with the Bravos.
Trucked it to Canada, and changed drives and were adding Whipples to up the power. Got one run in and the weather was getting cold. They were going to pull the motors to upgrade the HP. I don't expect the notch to be of any concerns as the drive is mounted at the correct height and that is all that matters for an Arneson. How large is your notch? |
85 tops?

112?
