JC listened to me and said he'd do anything I'd want, just opening up a new can of worms with lots of R&D and prop testing, with my limited boating time my tune changed. I'd love to see someone try though...
RIK...I Absoultely love that Skater...Its one of my screensavers!!!

Unfortunately, I cannot upload any photos of the boat. They are too large this thing keeps telling me.

Rik,
If this ASD6 was set up at the factory from day one. What kind of speed increase would it be from, say a Bravo XR ?The hull does 84 now, with a single 525.

To be honest, I would be lying if I gave you an answer being that I have no experience with the 30' Superboat.

I would like to belive that the top speed would increase by 5mph minimum, mid range should be better as well.

How much and such is an unknown as I have no customers with this boat.

I know it will dock well, (all other single engine customers say so) I know it will get on plane and drive and steer and etc.

Top speed, with the proper propeller is the answer that I cannot honestly give though.

Thanks Rik,
Rick, Coen needs to build a Y2K with Arenson surface drive for factory stock. For demo rides.
