I think the Arnesons work great in a twin application. Rik was a little ignorant to me in another thread for some reason and started bashing Konrad. I don't bash others. I'm not too impressed with his antics to be honest with you.

Nice product, just needs to be more careful how he deals with people.

Rik knows his $hit when it comes to hull design and drives. I've seen a lot of people look ignorant on this site. This site is great but there are a lot of opinions floating around and we all know what they smell like.:hitfan:

4 yrs ago I looked at building new with 340 hp mercs, was dealing with Jo and Pulse drive- liked the swim deck aspect of the pulse- Along the way, Harry Schoel got involved (he's part of pulse drive) and he thought I might kiss 70 with this setup- I think Harry know's his stuff AND he designed the pulse and the Pantera Hull.

These are great boats, but it takes a bit more than a little less drag to make the speed happen. I still think it would be cool- but you need a reality check on the speed. if the bow lift worked out and you added some whipples:)....

Our 27 Avanti used to have twin Turbo Charged 350s and KAAMAS. Ran mid 70s from what I heard. But I also heard it didnt handle that well.

would be better(especially resasale) with beefed sbcs and bravos.

if you're worried about fuel, dont get a boat.
What, $500 more a year than if it was 2.50/gal gonna stop you from boating??? come on!

What you think you're annual nut a year cost to boat?
OH, and have a problem w/ your arneson? like your local shop gonna know what to do w/ it. :rolleyes:

I can guarantee he would not have a problem with the Arneson to need service in the first place.

I have excellent customer service to handle any of his or any customers needs so getting what they would need regardless where they are is not going to be a problem.

First, if you have a problem with me, be a MAN and call me!

Everyone has something to learn but if you know it all then I will bow to you!

I did not bash KONRAD, rather I questioned your sales pitch on a thread that was not even concerning Konrads. I do not troll threads trying to sell anything.

If that bothers you, then maybe you should offer something positive and constructive or informative to a thread rather than a sales pitch.
