Brett-
Maybe try the anit-cavitation plates on your Bravos? I had the same problem in my 35 Fountain when I went from standard Bravo lowers to -2s...and then AGAIN when I went to -3s and IMCO SCs. The anti-cav plates seemed to help a bit...but really, I ended up having to adjust my throttling technique. Now, when I leave the water, I BARELY pull back on the throttles...keeping the rpms high and REALLY "micro-managing" the sticks is what worked for me.
I've driven larger boats in some bigger water, and they were much more forgiving as far as throttle play. Perhaps its a function of getting used to a smaller hull?
