Yea that’s why asked why do this, but if there’s a deal on a lower now, then find a upper or buy a new upper later I get it. The SCX lower on a bravo/sc upper is kind of like my 8yr old wearing on of my size 12 steel toes. But things have to be done in stages and I get that.

You will loose a lot of speed and handling using the SCX lower, a lot like towing a five gallon bucket behind your boat.

This is a really bad set up. The upper is the weak link, not the lower. What you should do is run the SCX upper, and then a Bravo, sport master, or IMCO SC lower. If your Bravo upper is just a standard upper, It is good for about 400 hp and no more. Unless I missed it, what kind of power and boat are you going to be using this on?

I'm going to be running SCX upper and lowers in my Cigarette 39 next year. I have around 825 hp, and I could have probably got away with the sport master lower. Either way, do not put an SCX lower on a bravo upper. Go with the SCX upper if you have over 600 hp.

SCX Lowers will not work on Bravo or SC uppers. The adaptor coupler O.D. is larger than the I.D. of the tower in those uppers.
