Great video's Bill. It looks like the bravo in the video is severely flexing in the front, the gap between the lower and upper housing seems like its all over the place, might just be the angle, but my god it looks like its about to break right off. Great work.

True, but its looks to handle the HP of an arneson or a #6, and it just bolts up. By the time you pay someone to convert your bravo to a surface drive you will have much more than that into it, and will you get it back a resale?

You could buy this drive and keep it for life, or pull off the boat when time to sell, bolt on the bravo and sell this drive used to help recover that money.

I like, but I don't have 70k cash. How about a scaled down model that handles 800hp for $11k each? :whistle:

I am disappointed as well. I was really wanting to see some underwater girl on girl action.
