Hey mike, I wonder how these would work mounted on the bottom side of the swim platform? Not really underwater, but i would think would still give a nice little ambiance of red at night off the back...They use them as tail lights on boat trailers, and are fully sealed. I know i have dunked my trailers at night with the lights going, never had a issue. I may buy a pair and give them a try. For the money, its worth a shot! I have LED tailights on my semi trailer, and they get flogged with water when it rains, like holding a garden hose on them, never had a issue from getting them wet.

Not up on the bravo stuff, but why is the 1.36 gear set the strongest ones ?? You sayin use the 1.36 with a 30 prop ?? Just curious.

due to ratio v.s torque applied. the 36 is stronger and if you have the power then use this combo. i would think he can use the 30 with the 1;50.

brett knows his stuff but maybe those 30's should go to scott over at merc. he has done atleast a half dozen sets for me, all on the money.

My numbers are back....569 hp, 622 ft/lbs. Looks like Monstaa might be on the money with the 30s...grabbing a labbed set from Kool-Aid Man for the sea-trial.

With the -2 lowers, this thing is gonna be a whole new animal.

TTT for Mike.

he now has some seat time with the new engines. Top speed is around 81mph with 26 hydromotives, turning 5600. he also got about the same out of 30p bravos, but a bit less rpm.

Im thinking even with the -2 imcos, he is still too deep with the boxes.....monstaa? Gets on plane no problem. no sign of roost at cruise or wot.
