Now you are going backwards....An offshore boat has 2 (two) engines. If you want a sweet, rare, reliable, efficient ride, get some 450 hp small blocks, custom built and you will see upper 70's and the cg and balance will be perfect. You will never worry about breaking a Bravo and there will be room to work back there for routine maintenance; cause that's all you will need.
Good Luck

thank you...

Not saying I'd do it, just that it could be done.

Need to come up with a name for the boat. I'm hoping it would give me a little better luck after all the trouble last year. Was thinking of something with chief, squaw, sun, waves, brave, spirit, arrows, No Reservations - love that name.

Try using "braves" & "waves"; or if u go with small blocks, "twin-lil' Brave" something w/"twins/arrows/littleBraves"...naming a boat is very tricky. I thought for 2 yrs and decided to keep it "New Moon"- less stress; plus the whole bad luck thing!

you could contact the Apache tribe chief and send him a picture of your boat and let him name it for you... that would be pretty cool and a little better story when people ask where the name came from...

just an idea..

"just an idea"
And a good one at that!

Sweet, Thanks!!!. But if he gives her a name am I stuck with it? I mean, I don't want to anger the apache spirits. What the chief says you go with it, whether you like it or not. I'm not really worried about the bad luck. It doesn't have a name now which IMO is bad luck for this boat.

im sure he doesnt mind if you do dont use it or not... i think he would feel honored to have the opportunity and may see something in the boat that you dont?!? give it a shot all you have is timed anyway until summer and we can plan a naming ceremony too.

the apache gaming commissioner is a friend of mine and i could easily get you in contact with the chief....

lil rebel is just "OK"

I recently purchased an Apache Brave that already has the name No Reservations and the name is painted on. I don't think I will be re-painting just to remove the name. Its already grown on me, jejeje.
