They're way bigger than a Bravo.
You have to change the helmet
You should install a HD gimbal ring
You have to add a through hull water pick up
You have to add a larger drive oil reservoir
It takes a #6 prop
You should have the lower trued
You have to trim certain styles of shift cables
You'll need all new tools for working on it
With twins you'll have to shorten the tie bar
You should safety wire the shower bolt to a gear cap bolt

Reports on strength look promising
I'm at 50 hours or so and a quick look at the gears shows as new.

In some cases you may want an extension box to help dial the boat in perfect.

Also might need to adjust the drive height/X-dimension up or down.

May as well add a blower since it's stronger and takes more HP to turn.
