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.

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

you're chasing 6-8mph for a big increase in drives($) over a bravo.
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.

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.

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.

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.
