My bud is doing a conversion on his 22' daytona. The first main thing is that he needs to drop the engine about 3" in the boat. Not a real problem for him because his exhaust goes over his transom but whould suck for us..
I will be thinking about it and making a decision after his is done..

If you guys go on Offshoreonly.com there was a recent thread about Arneson's, and the owner of Arneson Industries had some pretty good post on it.
The thread is "Gladiator or Skater". The owners screen name is "Rik". I agree with the safety issue of swimming around the boat to be the only negative.

Here is the thread.

Maybe Charley, Or Grass Pay$ need to really look into this drive setup.
Hell I bet IMCO could make a retractable swim plat-form & Propguard all in one type of combo that once the motor was turned off, out would come the fully retractable swimplatform & propguard. Now Joey could put all the power he really wants in a boat & keep the family safe at the same time.

It works for me.. Rik at Arneson Industries was a big help in setting up my boat.

If I were building a boat purely for speed then the Arneson would be the ticket. For all around family lake and ski duty, I don't think they're the way to go. Guess it just depends on what you're doing with your boat.

I don't think I'd want to be swimming in the same LAKE with that damn thing chopping away.
JEEZUS. That is a wicked looking device.

Ya gotta love an 18' boat with a huge roost at 100MPH...
...and a small block, no less.
