Keep us posted. I kick the idea around in my head to upgrade power in the future. I was wondering how she would run in 3-4's at lets say 85+ vs 65-70mph?

I'm running those speeds at 4000-4400 rpms. It's night and day!

don't bother doing anything unless you upgrade the drives, otherwise leave it stock.. I thought the IMCO Extreme SC's would hold it because they were rated to 800 hp/tq but I was sorely mistaken when I was blowing them up after 10-20 hrs with only 716hp.

Our boats are heavy and bravo's can't handle it, that's why I went with the BMax. I've had two trouble free seasons with about 100 hrs on these drives and other than one small issue with a shaft coupler they've been flawless on my boat. Although I lost a couple MPH with the switch I haven't had any down time due to blown up bravos!
