Bravo 2 lower busted! Switch to Bravo 1 or 3
Needing input. 28’ Carver Express cruiser 9’ beam. Single 454 and currently a Bravo 2. Case cracked on me. Friend gave me an almost new Bravo 1 lower case, as well as bearing retainers, shafts and various components. I know the Bravo 1 won’t swing the big ass prop I’ve got on my Bravo 2, but with prices going higher everyday, would I be better to build the Bravo 1 I have or would I be giving up to much. Want a Bravo 3 as that seems to work better on cruisers but have the Bravo 1 case ready to go. Advice please

Good advice
Thank you for your input. Guess I’ll be on the search for a Bravo 3 that fits my budget. If anyone has one they are willing to part with hit me up

I have a near brand new B3 gears lower which didn't work for my repower (XR upper). Used it for maybe an hour run time before I removed and replaced with my 2.0 lower (16/27). Been sitting ever since on a dolly for a few years. Have now taken it apart to count gears but think its a 18/25 making it a 1.65 ratio
Sell for 4200 plus ship, and will look closer to verify ratio

Can't you get an entire bravo 1 lower (aftermarket w/a 3 year no matter what warranty) for like $1100 new?

I know I plan to if I ever need a lower. I broke up a cav plate on mine, and if it ever bugs me enough, am thinking I'd go this route.
I wish SEI would make a whole bravo setup.
