cig 20 drive options
seems like my options are blackhawk bravo (shorty) or bravo III with either a standard gimbal a setback box or a its system
I plan on building a 500 hp that will be identical to the motors in my bullet so it will be a 565 hp motor. I run standard bravos with xr vert shafts and run the boiat hard so drve rating is not a issue with me as i have not had a drive failure on the bullet
so far from what i have read the blackhawk on a setback box would be the fastest but around dock handleng is tough as well as if i want to pull a skier rooster tail would be a *****.
the bravo has the issue of torque lean of the boat and would require some tab use to level boat out.
I like the idea of the its system since i am working with a bare hull this would also save on the hydraulic steering side of it and also it has a slight set back.
opininions?
have no heard much on people running bravo III

I have the Bravo III setup on mine. It handles real well but I do not think it is the best speed wise. Obviously no torque rollover issues. Good drive setup for all around pleasure use.

It is a pad hull. I'll have to measure the X, but can't until late next week. Engine is a 454 Magnum, 385 HP when new. Speedo isn't GPS, I'd guess it runs around 65 or so.

mine is a non pad but your x-dim would be good for my records even though its not applicable to me I am leaning toward a ITS with a bravo 3 on it
