Raising the x dimension of that boat without going to Konrads or Ssm would be a bad idea. Those drives are at a great height for keeping them reliable. Any higher they would air out sooner, slip would go up a little etc. if it needed a transom or any work maybe. But that hull does not need a thing. I spent many hours re powering it, running it etc. I feel like we're beating a dead horse but that boat is "the" deal.

I can't believe this is even (worthy of) a debate!
That FL boat is a salty, faded, well used mess. Bravo drives are known to be very problematic on these boats, especially behind blower engines.
The 1994 in CT is in great shape, I've spent a lot of time on it as well before Jessie bought it. The boat is in amazing condition. Not to mention it comes with an aluminum trailer (I believe), I don't think the FL boat does.
The TRS drives have never been an issue on the CT boat, not to mention the boat comes with spare drives. From a drive standpoint, I'd take a couple of good sets of TRS drives everyday over a pile of questionable bravos! Bravos might be newer, but I certainly wouldn't say better.
Here's a little love for Frank and his beautiful Tiger as well.

Just pics of it all stripped down, old gel etc. I Have other customer boats I'm doing so my gun is on the back burner when I have time till those boats are done. I'm with SS930 though. This isn't even a debate

On a side note, the paint job on the pink boat is called "bat out of hell". It was used in various color combinations through out the 90's on guns and cafés. I always loved those graphics.
