If it is just you and your wife, your have a shot at the drive living. Drive parts like Max Machine makes will help. Put 4-6 adults in your boat with a cooler.....you know the answer.

These threads start every year late winter when guys building bigger power start thinking about what they're hooking it to.
The title first made me think "April Fools !!!" but I realize it's no joke.
Been there, done that, got the bucket of parts and pile of Bravo rebuild bills. Never again.

Okay.. so what IS the answer ?
I'm about to start rigging my 26 Corsa.. It WILL have over 800 hp...
The hull doesn't have much rocker so I wouldn't think a surface drive would work out too well.
Is the Imco SCX the only option ?
Really hate to have to tell the wife we need a $15,000 drive on our $7000 boat....

I talk about this all the time.
I've broken plenty of Bravos on a handful of boats. Each time was overloaded with people and gear.
Modified motors and stock 502MPI's.
Regular Bravo's though.
====================================
Boating has become much cheaper since not loading boat up with people anymore.
Less fuel.
Less Drives.
Less Beer.
Less being stuck with the restaurant tab. LOL.

I have about 850 HP in my boat , originally came with 625HP , well , shortly after upgrading power , about 30 hours ...Bam ! Rebuilt drive at an expense of 5K , next one lasted about 35hrs , this was and IMCO SC drive , which is basically an XR drive , I said screw this , put on an IMCO SCX drive and now have peace of mind .I lost about 4mph on top end though .
