This should shake up Areneson, what a nice clean unit with super features. Wonder if the trim/steering can be a retro?

Phil, the ZF drives have been around quite some time, but mainly, high horsepower, low rpm PASSENGER TYPE VESSEL propulsion. BUT, these look "new" to me...

The Searex...and that Magnum50...

Phil, again the torque and rpm ratings are designed for a different market than ours. The Smallest model offered is the Searex 80 and it is good for 3000 foot pounds of torque at 1500 rpms. Arneson is still the only player, (other than Kaama) that provides an alternative to turbine and diesel type figures. They are still the only one as far as I know that take torque figures around 600 ft pounds and 5500 rpms for their smaller offerings...

Hopefully they will enter into the performance market, the clean steering and trim system is to die for!
