Yes he did. I'm pretty sure all his boats have been bravo boats. Send him a pm.

Having a boat like a Top Gun with blower motors and standard Bravos is like having a 25 year old girl friend with a big rack but you can't touch it. It's no fun. Why have all that boat and not be able to run it hard without the fear of a week out of the water and a hefty repair bill.

Agree with everyone here. Standard bravo's on a boat with blown 540's will go thru drives often. Our top gun with 500efi's bravo xr's have about 290 relatively trouble free hours. Last year lost a lower gear but that's been about it for issues. Any more than 500hp on bravo's is asking for trouble.

You have 3 options: buy a boat with less hp, accept the fact that you'll go thru drives, or buy a boat with big power / beefier drives.

the single shaft will still limit you if you actually run it in any kind of water and run it hard, how do the SCX drives hold up on a place like a great lake? just curious I am not educated on them.....

My SCXs have 3 yrs of Shootouts Saturday now- trouble Free!!
Ok Not Great Lakes but I Abuse them and not worrying is worth $$$$$

Both Tim Mccray and i had them on our 38' top guns and we run big water out here and had zero issues

Don't shoot the messenger.

Thanks Buck, I talked to Dustin this morning. Great guy and was very informative.

Sorry Buck but any chance I get to talk about 25 year old with big racks I gotta take!
