I always heard the Cafe's ran better with transmissions. TRS, SSM, etc. Due to the weight being a little more forward in the hull. Less porpoise, better handling in rough...

I have heard the same in any trs hull that was updated with bravo... I can tell you from being on both 311 formulas to compare the trs boat for sure was better in rough water overall but bravo was 3 mph faster I would rather have the trs then 3 mph

Plus when you take into account the weight of carrying a spare Bravo around, you probably scrub off the extra 3 mph right there LOL.

[QUOTE=seafordguy;3883918][QUOTE=ridefast77;3883737]a buddy of mine has a cafe with 525efis in front of bravos and he love the set up , its a awesome boat and runs 80mph and that good for that heavy boatHahahaha! Exactly!......... 4195 here used to have a 93 Cafe with 550-575 a side with Bravos and Bblades 26P labbed 4 blades and saw a best of 78 MPH.,,,which I thought was really good for that tank.

Skramer has approx 600 a side saw 80 once with shorty. Drives .. I thought that was very impressive!

C'mon, bravos don't break !!! They're just fine even to 800hp with blowers, as long as you run a drive shower and some expensive lube lol

lol^^

If I had a TRS boat Id go straight to KONRADS , bravo is a step backwards , unless you got that magic lube of course

The 25,000 Konrad conversion to older boats to me is insane...then you have even more invested in a boat not worth much in today's market......

Yep some $30 a qt lube changed every 5 hours makes way more sense! And they don't break if you can throttle! Have to laugh Everytime I hear that one....

I know what you mean...........
