I know there are some Hustler Slingshot's with your drives, but do you know of any Slingshots that had a Bravo conversion. With stock power what changes in performance could I expect.
Thanks, Steve

While most of the Hustlers have been installed with the power that the owner had, there was one new one that had "stock" power in that it had new Merc 525's and the boat ran upper 90's (it also had big tube headers rather than the standard E type) which Merc said was a mistake as they did not have sufficient back pressure for the 525's and thus cost hp but the owner wanted them as he was intending upon adding Whipples at a later date (which he has done) so he planned for the future from the start he said. The 525's with Whipples runs 115-116

Very interesting read. I currently have the SC lowers -2 and am enjoying this read on SCX.

ttt Very informitive thread.

I'm getting close to testing and doing the set up on my boat. I've got 2 sets of SCX lowers one with number 6 shafts and one with the over size shafts for bravo style props. If anyone is interested in buying some SCX lowers I'll likely be selling one set probably the bravo ones. It would be a good way for someone to try the lowers without losing money.

what kind of price are you thinking and what gears , and are they shorty lowers -2 ? thanks , and how did you end up with extras

The lowers are -2(the only size available) 1.5 ratio. I bought the drives complete and then found the lowers with the 6 shafts only they were sct's. 5k for both.

I would have to stick with the 1.36 gears, to bad you dont have the extra uppers !

The point is that even with 1.5 ratio the boat can be ran and evaluated as far as handling with the SCX lowers. If they seem good, then worth changing the gears. If not pass them on and go with sc lowers. I will need 1.10 with bravo props. I plan on trying them just to see how they feel.
