I raced in the boat with the bravo's it was a handful. My opinion was they mounted the drives way to high. On boxes they were around an inch above the bottom. This caused the boat the want to chine walk and run nose high. They ended up adding ballast to the nose which helped some. I liked the way it ran with the Arneson's much better. it just needed propped better which was a lot of cash back then.

On the 36 race boat what Sal Picon did was run air lines from the top to vent the steps.
Worked well but the 36 was twin step .
Im also re-installing the ballast tank back in the front in case the big blocks make it a little nose happy..
Like I said it will just be a fun poker run boat so its probably not gonna see the seas or speed it used to, if I can get mid 80s out of it Ill be tickled pink. Its still a very solid boat and being the only one ever made makes it all that much more interesting..
