My buddy is looking at a straight bottom TG w/bravos and wants to know what the boat is capable of without major drive changes.........

stock power will be the lipship redo

not stock power, the boat already has 700hp going to bravos......

From what I've seen. Straight bottom guns are bravo eaters with anything over the 500+ mark a side. Heavy boat / weak drive...Not a good combo.

haha i know i already told him..........what bravo style drives can handle the most power????? IMCO??????

theres at guy down here at loto (dennis) with a straight bottom lipship with bravos and 800hp i think and he is easy on the boat so the drives hold, dont know the speed

Boat ran in the mid 90's a few years ago at the shootout.

The secrete to big motors on bravos in a 38 TG is knowing how to throttle. Drive knowing that the bravos are your weak link.

Are Cafe's with Bravo's easier on the drives becasue of the X dimension. Haven't heard of many problems even though they are similar in length.

Couldn't agree more..... While mine are getting old and tired, I still have 525sc's and bravos... I ease into the throttle EVERY time.... I love these guys that idle to the opening of the cove... then mash the throttles forward.
