I believe IMCO will do it also.
I know you can order a SCX upper modified to fit a -3 lower.

I called bravo shop today about it. They said, they have done it and never again. The cost would have been the same as just buying the -3 lower portion for the SC upper. The Imco is a split case and you can just bolt on a -3 section to change the cavitation plate. If that's the route I need to go, it will go back to a -2 and be done with it.

I didn't know what the mids cost and I just looked and saw they are about $1100 for the -3 mid section from Imco.
I'm sure by the time the Bravo Shop mills, re welds and paints them, he probably has at least 8 hrs into each one, so realistically, its just not worth it.

I just got a reply back from another drive shop and the quote was half of what Bravo Shop quoted me. But he said the same thing, it's a lot of time to mill and re-weld everything. $500 a drive may be worth it, in order to get the prop height up a little more.

I got a sawzall and some JB weld.
You got the beer.

Ha- I've been thinking the same thing. I have 3 IMCO SC's, and I've thought about experimenting with one of them. Either way, I have to decide what to do because it's time to buy the lowers!

Ok- I've been doing a lot of research on this topic, x-dimentions ect. the past few days. On the Power Play forum, one of the factory guys was discussing x-factor depths on the 33. When bravo props and dwp lowers came out, they raised the X by 1 3/8" and picked up 5-8 mph all things being equal. I know that there is big speed to be found with the proper drive height. With that said, I'm going to try and cut the upper over the weekend. I was looking at it last night and it doesn't look as difficult as people make it out to be. I've got three of these cases so it it works- great, if not- oh well. I'll report back on the progress!

I will be curious how this comes out. I am fixing to do the same thing but have not ordered my -3 shorty yet. The research I have found makes it look that a stock B1 upper can be modified pretty easy to fit the -3. I have not yet found any good pictures or write-ups to confirm that though.

Tinkerer has done that mod on his B1. If he sends me a picture I will post it. [email protected]

This is the modification to clear a Bravo prop.
I have since modified it further to fit a Maximus prop.
You need 1/2 inch clearance between the blades and the underside of the cav plate.
