Hello guys,

Called about this boat and it is an Arneson Surface drive.
My question is this . . .
How does that drive affect the handling. It seems that with
the prop that close to the surface the back end could get loose on ya.
Also seems like it would be easier to spin the motor when the water gets a little rough. No?

This boat is very close to what I've been looking for but would be more excited if it was a TRS drive.

Thanks for any feedback,

Ben

I'd rather have the arneson than a trs anyday. Under way you probably wouldn't notice a difference (other than a rooster tail) Docking is hamperd a little because reverse doesn't work as well. Get it, you'll be happy you did.

Also, that hull is the same as a 26 Corsa, I raced one for a few years and it's a freakin Ball in the rough & Chop:yes:.. BUY IT:yes:

Ben,


If the boat isn't soggy, you've got a great deal there.
I think you will like the drive. I have one on my Donzi and I'm very happy with it.
