I need advice 1986 Flatdeck
1986 Cigarette Flat Deck
600 Jomar roller motors 60 hours
Trs Drives
Winter of 2012 Im going to Stagger Motors, add bravo drives, get rid of all the trs stuff, I lose H.P. in the transes, Plus I will be able to shoot a rooster. And bravo parts are east to come by.
Cost around 8-10K
What do you think?
The only problem is my boat is turn key 73Mph any day of the week now

Hi l see you have nice reliable set up why would you want to mess with it, 600 hp and the weight and running surface of a flat deck stock up on bravos you will need several during the season, and as far as staggering them for 8-10 k try doubling that and by the time your said and done 1 maybe 2 mph, I love those old flatdecks but they hit a wall in the mid 70's.

I have all the Bravo stuff already. I just have to redo the transome and have this guy install them. I know the set up I have now gives me no headachs. and at 3200 rpm im crusing mid to upper 40's with gas at 5 a gallon I might be better off keeping it the way I have it.

You dont think I would have enough room deleting the transmissions and moving one motor back and the other forward. I know I might have to do like a stainless marine exhaust and get rid of the big tube headers. I have to mesure it to see. OH ya my boat is still shrink wrapped here in Detroit Michigan and its 44 out side today.
