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.

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.

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.

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