OK..Whats next in outdrives after Bravo1
Hey guys. I just went through the engine in my 28 scarab..blower, cam, heads..you know..the normal things we throw money at when we should be doing other things. I realize the Bravo1 isn't going to be long for this world, so I am looking for advice from the people who have already "been there, done that". I do not have a drive shower yet, and the the boat still has the original power steering. Without going nuts..which outdrive is next. I am not planning on anymore power as the boat probably wouldn't like it anyway

Unless you are making huge power with that setup a well built XR might do but steering is a MUST.

An XR is a "better" bravo but may not be the best thing for your set-up. If you want a near new XR that sat as my spare at a used price let me know......

Konrad or ($$$$$$$$$) NXT. The Ilmor Indy would be a contender, but they're not selling that for anything other than new package installations or Ilmor retrofits.

XR's are a 50/50 thing.
They might live for a while..... or the upper gearset
may only last 10 hrs.

Yea...I forgot to mention the whats in it..just your everyday warmed over 502 cid. It's very close to 800hp now, not quite..but close enough for me. The torque numbers with the supercharger are very high also.
