Looks like Imco has a bravo cav plate available for much less $150.

So, even though my TG was a #6 boat, I've got a bunch of seat time in Bravo TG's. The only time that any of them have porpoised (sp) was when too much trim was being run for the speed that the boat was going. They just don't like trim under 50 mph or so..... Just my 2 cents!

Just loaded this video from a couple weeks ago. Running in the river. This is zero tab down. Drives kicked out a bit (like to 5 on the heads up indicators). Runs flat.

She used to run hoppy:




Now she runs happy :


2" spacer and lowered boxes an extra inch.

3" below bottom now, she seems to like it deep

Dan, my boat had aluminum Cav plates on it when I bought it. They eventually broke, was a noticeable difference getting on plane without them. Had some SS plates made up & had them made about 2 inches longer, big difference. Just a straight plate makes a nice difference. Plus it's nice covering up the top of the props, getting in & out of the boat. On your drives don't the props come up past the lower into the front of the upper?

Ya , Can`t attach to cav plate ...I would have to make a plate that fits between the lower and upper. That means machining the grooves for the o rings. Dammit
