29 w 600!
 

i noticed an add for a 29 with a single 600 sci and XR its...how fast this bad beak go? Too much motor and boat for an XR(I know merc rates the XR at 600 tops, but comeon?)

My 2002 29' with 575sci runs low 80's, and I have wrecked two Bravo XR's with only 220 hours. I would say the 600 will get you to 85 mph plus, but here is the crux. You are pushing a 5700 lb boat dry, with a single prop, over 30 inches, and there is a lot of stress on the outdrive. From my experience, I would be scared of mashing gears in the XR.

so a konrad ace, Imco, or pulse drive is the path to a fun, powerful, and reliable big single 29'?

I called the dealer on the boat. He said it tops out at 82-84 (yeah that correct??? same as the 575) but the acceleration is mind blowing. So was the sticker.....MSRP OVER 190K :eek:

buy a 29 a few yrs old with a 502mpi ......pull it and sell the 502 and the bravo whole and put on your own konrad ace and your choice of custom power.......buy a 800hp blower motor from some rich guy whose upgrading to 1200s or something like that and its sitting around his shop in the way........id b cool

Thats not cool. My buddy thats a dealer out here in Nor Cal just delievered an all black 29 w/600 it was 185k. And I dont think they fix Bravo Xrs in that country...but I could be wrong.
:cool:
