What is the cheepest surface drive

[rivadezza]

Hi,
I am making a 56 foot sports cruiser and wondering to use surface drives, whitch producer has the cheepest drives.

The one that works the worst is probably the most less expensive.

Arneson's are not that expensive. Especially when you consider what is a proven item that works and there is technical support after the sale.

Most times cheap turns out costing more

What is your power and speed?

the boat im producing is a 56 footer with 1720 hp, its a sports cruiser, you can se the pictures on www.rivadzza.com its the 56 Genesis.

I sell most of my boats here in Thailand where I have my factory + some to Russia, I recon surface drives is the best option, gives much better preformance and economy, the weight of the boat is 14.000 kg and the hull has a 21 degree dedarise, the estimation of speed is calculated to 45-47 knots..... are you also a boat builder ?

by the way, do you have any ide what I would have to pay for a Arneson that has to handle 860 hp and 1.000 torque
