Bravo 1 behind 750hp?
 
Just like the title says, will a Bravo one hold up? What some precautions to take so it does?

ease into the throotle and keep your blades in the water. if your looking to mash the sticks and air the boat out behind 750 hp any bravo(x,xz,xr) will not live to long. driven with respect bravos will stay together

I once owned a boat that I had to be "GENTLE" with the drives. Never again. From now on, its either beefy drives, or simply stick with mild power. I see no point in building engines up, then having to drive the boat like a sissy. If you boat on a calm lake that pretty much allows a 23ft cat to zip along at 100mph, you'll be able to get away with more power, since you're props will likely never leave the water. If you run your boat, in the ocean, great lakes, or generally rough water that requires some throttling action, they wont last long. ESPECIALLY a stock bravo 1

You may want to look into this product.

You can do it easily with just a bolt and nut. May cost you $2.00-$4.00 if regular bolt or stainless.

Weld on throttle bracket so that bolt threads and nut face your carb or throttle body's linkage. Adjust so that your carb or throttle body's arm can only rotate about 60% open.

Or you can splurge and spend like $20.
