Thank you Fullforce for posting the pic's
Been busy getting Fountain ready for bed.
Then clean up the Bullet winterize engines then pull them to see what I have. Hopefully they both check out so I can make a matching pair

Mines a little better… but same… a running project. She’s probably got a good 125 hp more per side so should be entertaining to run next summer so long as we don’t break anything. I’ve been spoiled with transmissions bulletproof drives so I’m going to miss those… I see the potential for broken Bravos in my future.

Nah, Bravos pretty good, running one on my 29 sportfish, about same weight, pushing around 520hp. It's heavy bow, so always dragging. Ran a full hr, 5200 w/ 5 adults n 2 coolers and didn't have any issues. I'm sure others will chime in.

Should have been a little clearer… They “were” 550 horse blown 467s that have been breathed on since and now are creeping up on 700 a side. :D

Ohhhh boy 😱.
Just for my info, your running stock lowers? Did you change your x dim.? Others say the bullets like cones? Bo interesting to hear your numbers. B1 1:5 ratio, 32 pitch? 3-4 or 5 blade. Sorry plugging for info.

They’re the stock Bravos that have been on it since my buddy got her back 17 years ago. Original X dimension, no notch.

The boat had 27p Mirages but he switched to 26P Bravos. The boat ran in the 70s but he was pretty conservative running it hard hence the drives staying together with 550 hp (guesstimating - basically 420s with B&M 250s, single 850s, and 5 lbs). I think she could have turned 28s.

The boat is too heavy and drives too deep to spin anything near a 32p.

I was referring to creaping on 700. Yea she's a heavy one for sure. All I have read is everything stock but comes. Not sure what this has for pwr but from what he told me it had imco drives. He sold everything so I couldn't get much info from him. But thanks for info, cause came with mis matched pwr, Bravos which need to tear down n check and no props. So you are giving me good info to start with.
