This one looks to have XRs w/ Sportmaster lowers. Someone mentioned Konrads above, not the case.

Sure, if you can buy it right or make the deal inclusive of upgrading the drives to Imcos or the like. I believe it has been there for a bit, try for the drive upgrade as part of the deal. Not saying you will for sure be buying drives by the gross here, just a lot of HP for a Bravo.

How fast do you want to go, just out of curiosity ?

Next boat...I'd like to go 90's mph. Mine goes 70..so I think that's a good step up...but not rediculous, I don't need to go 130 or more...! I'll save that for my Vette.

I'd check this one out....just as nice, same year, $15k cheaper, and with 500EFI's you won't go through drives:

You're looking at Fountains, a step up goes without saying.

Just kidding, you have a nice looking boat. But once you get to run one of these you will become a believer like the rest of us. Reggie does his homework!

That was me that said it was the Konrads. I looked at one of the pics and made a wrong assumption!

I wouldn't take it that way. I just made the comment that it had Bravos and not Konrads. I even went and took a second look thinking I had missed them, and I visit the Shogren site pretty regularly. No offense intended.

That is a much nicer boat, except it looks like a 2 yr old did the bilge rigging. The good news is that it can be cleaned up fairly easily. The race fairing greatly increases the rigidity.
