Not that this means sh!t in the Top Gun world, but I had a Bullet that I would hold the sticks to the dash with 575 a side, with stock Bravos...in the ocean.... Actually remember a day when me and 2 buddies all took turns beating the daylights out of this Bullet, it was like a gang rape! We just kept switching drivers!( both friends been driving Cigs for years so good on the sticks) ...The SOB would not go a tic over 83.0 MPH and we proved it over and over that day! .... but the bravos held up and I sold the boat with never 1 drive problem. The Bullet doesn't weigh like a Gun, but its not light by any means.. Just my worthless .002$

That's good speed out of the bullet. 83 with 575.

Looked a nice cig today if things don't work out I might call you, it is the one with the goose neck. It's been for sale for a while, what's the deal with not selling?

Wow Mark, that is AWESOME! Great job buddy, I'm so glad to see she is in good hands! So from Bravo's to 3A SSM'S to Konrad's to 6 SSM's, the old girl's had more hardware on her transom than a biker chick! LOL

His point wasn't the 750 HP motors. His point was the fact that they are mated to Bravos. That much HP with Bravos freaks some people out.
Knowing the man that built the boat and why he did it makes sense to me. I'll leave it up to him to comment further if he chooses.
Either way it's a beautifully done Top Gun that stands out above lots of others in that year model range. I can assure you the boat is immaculate.

nothings wrong with 750's. especially brad smith 750's. they are top of the line. but you better be good on the sticks or boat on little lakes and rivers. with bravos there is a lot less room for driver error on a boat of that size. even the T/S boats with a more efficient hull can splatter a bravo at will if not careful. that boat looks spotless and very well taken care of.
i love my 750's in my top gun.
