Bravo drives and HP
 

Are 750 HP engines too much for Bravo drives???? What do you guys think???:ernaehrung004:

All in how you drive it . My boat ran for 200 hours on bravo 1's with 750 hp . Changed to xr's hopeing not to have any trouble, and broke one of them after 50 hours. Go figure !!!!!!! :eek:

It depends on the weight of your boat, and your prop slip.

The less the weight, and the higher the slip, the longer the drive will live.

Thats a loaded question, Which bravos?? Super Charged?? What size boat and what kind of driving habits.
Water conditions? XRs would be your best chance and cut your inspection times by 50%. Im thinking the new oil cooling system that runs a tank in the boat and a cooler would go a long way in this HP range.
Run taller gears and a smaller pitch to keep the load off the drive. Now go break somthing :drink:

Here is the boat I'm talking about.... 42 Fountain. Long Island sound...nothing too rough... and I don't beat on my toys!!!! Too damn expensive to fix!:eek:

Nice looking ride !!!!!!!!!:party-smiley-020:

Those are XR's with sportmaster lowers. They are about as strong as you're gonna get in a Bravo. Its a heavy boat though. They might last 2, 20 or 200 hrs.

Had a buddy with triple SC525's in his 42 Fever. All were replaced over time.

Very Nice.. Dont worry Obooma got ya covered!!:evilb: I would have a spare if ya dont like waiting for repairs. Its not if but when. BIG BOAT<>BIG POWER<>will depend on your driving habits!! :ernaehrung004: Oh forgot blown!!:eek:

GOT 535 HRS on straight bravos 1;36 ratio, third set of bower motors in a cat.....you just never know!
