Konrad Marine Introduces ACE Propulsion System
MIAMI, FL - Feb 15, 2006
Konrad Marine will introduce the Ace Propulsion System at the Miami Boat Show. CEO Ken Konrad describes the Ace Propulsion System as a complete package, built to the industry's highest standards. Konrad's Ace Propulsion System includes a transom assembly, extension box, steering and high performance stern drive.
"We build the strongest, most durable stern drives available," Konrad said. "With the Konrad Ace Propulsion System, we offer the highest quality components in a reliable, high-performance steering and drive package."
The evolution of a high-performance package is the next logical step for Konrad Marine, which has been building its Model 540 high performance drive since 2001. The Konrad Ace Propulsion System offers performance boat builders a complete drive package that requires minimal service and wears longer than a conventional OEM installation.
"Performance boat sales are relatively flat since 2000. Frequent drive failures add considerable cost and take away time that should be spent enjoying your boat," Konrad Sales Manager Fred Sparling said.
Power Team Partnership with Velocity Powerboats
Velocity Powerboats' new SSC 41 concept boat is powered by twin Ace Propulsion Systems. The SSC 41 debuts at the Miami Show, and will tour poker run events and marine shows nationwide throughout 2006.
"We are thrilled to have Konrad Marine as our OEM supplier in this important horsepower and torque range," Steve Stepp, Velocity Powerboats President and CEO said. "The industry has been waiting for a reliable and efficient stern drive power assembly to bridge the gap in the 600-850 horsepower range. The Velocity 800 horsepower engine, teamed with the Konrad Ace Propulsion System, enables many Velocity models to exceed the coveted 100 mile-per-hour mark."
Founded in 1990, Konrad Marine is a worldwide leader in stern propulsion systems for personal, commercial, and military watercraft. The company's 520 diesel drive is used in military and commercial applications worldwide. Konrad Marine's high performance stern drives are designed for powerboats requiring reliable, durable performance propulsion.
