IMCO makes a 1 7/16 shaft that is the same diameter as the #6.

I'm a little confused. Why would you want to put a #6, or for that matter any propshaft the same size as a #6, in a Bravo? It would then be the strongest component in the drive and you would begin to find the weakest "link" in the other internal components. I realize that you would then be able to use props that were not available for the Bravo. Is that the reason for the "swap"?

I believe that the od on a #6 propshaft is 1 7/8", not 1 7/16"

Yes that was my reason. Along with Rolf stating that the drive may last longer due to less harmonics than the bravo style props create. Did not work with my Spectre. You can read this about my experience if you want to.
