Pro's and Con's? Opinions on the technology? Cost to replace an outdrive with one? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Depends on the boat- some don't like the high X-dimension.

You would do better to post this question on offshoreonly.com one of the head honchos from Arneson posts there and quite a few guys have them there as well. If you are doing a straight Bravo replacement you want to look at ASD 6's if it's new construction the ASD 8's are hot it seems. They were on the new 30 Skater in Powerboat a few months back.

Pick up a copy of, uhem,cough, cough... Powerboat. This month, they dig into the question pretty well.

Just read a number of threads in Offshoreonly forums. Great info. Now, I think I have a new project. Anyone looking for a newly rebuilt Stern Power Outdrive w/ a Bravo lower unit and labbed 26P w about 4hours on them?

This is the best article on surface drives I've seen. Covers the history and pros & cons
