Default Arneson's on 1994 Top Gun

I have the old style Bravo one's with the one inch prop shaft on my 1994 Top Gun. I have twin supercharged 605 hp engines. I am tired of cruising at 3000rpms all the time. I need to update my drives so I can have more fun. I am thinking of Arneson's within the next 1 or 2 seasons. I don't know anyone that has Arneson's on their flat bottom Top Gun, so it makes me a little uneasy. Anyone out there with this setup? If not, what other alternatives do I have. I will have about 850hp in the future.

I know one or more has been done with Arnesons. Expect to pick up about 10+ mph, a lot of reliability, and gain huge in the cool factor!

Talk with Kris Vogt. He has Arnesons on his flat deck. His aren't the bravo conversion units, but the principle is the same...

We have quite a few of these older Top Guns with Arnesons and there is no better alternative for the power you are going to have and the power you have currently.

The Cig's run exceptionally well with the Arnesons and you will be surprised how much better the boat handles and runs.

Those Arneson's look like stainless steel. I thought they came in as brass or painted. Are those number 8 Arnesons?

Those are 1600's with the thrust tube chrome plated along with the cylinders.
