Re: Any shorties results
Not sure how this relates to other Cigs,; but Tres Martin told me to add a 1" spacer to my std bravo XR drives for more speed and better handling. I plan to do that this winter. With Tres' experience w/ Cig's, I am confident he is correct.
He also said too many MFG's have "raise the X" or "put speedmasters on it" mentality w/o research on their specific boat to back that thought pattern up. Thus they are actually sacrificing speed. |

We were told our pache ran 90 in Lake X . We now run mid eighty's . I am scepticle about it running 90, we weren't there to see it.
Last year I was seeing mid 80's with 700 hp blower motors. Now with gear ratio change I'm low low 80's. Oh well..... :rolleyes: Bravo Shop thinks I have 5-7 mph if my boat can use a shorty but I don't have the time or the patience to test. Looks like your drive height is pretty ideal now, you probably couldn't raise it unless you used a 5 blade. that's my guess. |
