...have a 525EFI from the factory? I think it did.

Yup, you're right. That was an 04 that I looked at when I was shopping.

Ours is about the same. 502 w/procharger @7lbs making ap 820HP on dyno.
Have seen 87.5 with a raw 5 blade Maxximum. Runs mid 80,s any time.

This package from Hot to Go can make up to 1100hp on the dyno, Ive seen it! We have it set up right now to make approx 750hp, its really conservative setup. DRIVE FRIENDLY

Glad to see you still have the bow cover.

About time you showed up! Hows life been treating you? You wont believe the interest on that bow cover by everyone whos sees it. You should put a patent on it! Does a great job and still in perfect shape.

Just noticed that bow cover. Sure looks a lot easier to deal with than my full cover.

It is how you throttle and main. The original owner replaced the upper at 100hrs. Ours is a XR upper and a standard Bravo 1 lower. The procharger was put on at 40hrs and ran 600+ hp approx until 265hrs.We bumped it up to 800+ hp and it shows 387hrs.
We run lake Mich as well as Superior and Huron and air it out alot. The scream O meter/ wife lets me know that. You have to throttle it well and come out of the very hole easily. We run Amsoil and have yet to replace a gear and have no chunks. You can twist any drive if you hammer the throttle and hang on.

Sounds like a pretty fun ride, they are a great looking boat! and when they run as fast as they look, THATS THE BEST! Whats the gain with the bravo1 lower?
