Have any of you guys who are bashing a bravo boat actually owned one? I have a 36 nor-tech w/525 and XR's, other then a faulty cone clutch, which was replaced under warranty, I have had no issues. Mine runs 104. Try finding an 04 skater that does that for 260. Nor-tech is not a skater, thats why they are cheaper, but it is still a great boat, and the cabin is very useful. If you want a cabin get a nor-tech, if you want a little more speed, get the skater. Dont worry about the XR's.
ROCK ON !!!!

I don't think MTI has built any 525 bravo boats, but I have ran a 39 with 575's and bravos a couple of yrs back and it ran 125 first time off the trailer. My understanding is that there is minimal different in speed between a 575 and 525 in a real application. So I am pretty sure a 525 bravo mti would run at least 125. This was a pure pleasure version that I drove by the way, with no tweaking or prop swaping.
Anyway, I personally wouldn't buy any of the boats mentioned without #6's, you will get your money back and more plus have a marketable boat.

I would think a bravo 39MTI would be faster that a #6 39MTI w/ 525/s ??????

Just not the ones I've been told not to say.
Bob Bulls old Cat Light boat ran 136 MPH on Bravos and 525s.

My first choice would be the MTI because of user friendliness and amenities. 368 Skater with the wraparound windshield would be a close 2nd.

Skater, MTI or Nortech are all over the legal width by at least tow feet or more. A dry sump six is the way to go. I would NEVER, EVER own a bravo on any boat faster than 70 mph or more than 400hp. I do not care what anyone says they are going to break.
