Is it true that geoo boat runs in the hundreds?Saw it on the arneson site.From what i gathered you did away with the tranny,was this for room or power loss.How does it work during a cold start?What motor and what HP?How does the donzi handle in the hundreds? Just curious .

TM,
Small Block Chevy, Procharged. When I did the conversion to an Arneson ASD#6, I was running a 383ci (360hp), 290 Volvo and gained 14 mph. (from 66-67 to 78-80). I couldn't fit a trannie when my engine was fresh water cooled, the heat exchanger was in front of the engine. Now Rik at Arneson make stand off boxes so you don't have to move the engine forward to fit a trannie. If you have any other questions E:Mail me and I'll get right back to you.

Hey JCap,
Shawn, the Volvo Penta engine guy, e-mail back to me today.
He does not have any small block packages at the moment but will be getting some in a few weeks.
If you like, I can put you in touch with him directly.
Send me an e-mail or PM with your phone # and I'll send you his.
I think Volvo Penta has a new 6.0 Chevy that out performs the 320HP/6.2 Merc.
That would be a nice upgrade from your 275HP/5.8 Ford...
Talk to you soon,
