I just got it done.But so far It ran faster loaded with fuel and people..I Like the way it runs now than before jumps right up on plain and handles great also seems to be alot better on fuel.The boat does not sit as low in the water about 4 inches higher. I think it is well worth it..

I remember reading a Teague article years ago, and it said if you like you boat with TRS drives you will love your boat with Bravo's after the conversion.

I am curious as to why you chose to convert to Bravos when they have so many durability issues.

It would seem like going to Konrad drives would be a much better, more durable long term solution.

the bravos on a 10 meter are no problem. The reason why i changed, #1 parts to fix the three's are very expensive,#2 the props for a 3 three are hard too find and third, resale value not many people want a boat with three's on it.You can buy a set of used xr drives for half the price of the Konrads. The 10 meter fountain is a light boat and with less than 500 hp it's a no brainer...

Thanks for the reply the boat looks great, let us know how she runs once you have time to get it really dialed in

I ran it this weekrnd and got 77.8 so I'm sayin 78. Not bad for 420's. I don't have any video but my friends say when its up and running there is about 4 feet in tthe water. The boat is very senstive to wind, weight and chop.
