Isnt a boat with bravo drives faster then a boat with #3 drives do to weight and loss of hp to the transmission. I know you can get beef up bravos.

Buy a bravo boat, and then spend $25,000 upgrading drives or just buy the #3 boat..... I'll buy the 3 boat and put 10k in the motors

My 95 Top gun with warned 525SC's putting out about 650 hp and SSM3A's ran about 74 on a good day. Regular layup, full cabin and loaded with anchor, beer (I mean water) and a heavy stereo as well as whatever other crap I had.

I loved my 3A's. Basically bullet proof for the power. never had to worry about blowing a drive or missing coming off the sticks when airing out. zing the reve limiters coming out of the water now and again was no biggy. Just kept on truckin'!
