Stepped bravo or straight 6 boat
 

What's the better boat in all aspects. If all being equal, as much as possible of course, what the better all around boat. From maintance purchase resale running ect? Wondering what you guys had for thoughts on it.

For me it would depend on what you would be running for power,,,,,, 525's with no intention of ever upgrading,,,,, bravos would be fine..... and more mainstream for service,,,, prop replacement etc

I want to bolt a blower on one day,,,,, get the #6 boat now and never worry about it

All being equal- at what horsepower ? Is the horsepower and boat weight well within the limits of a bravo?

Say 600s 10k boats just thought on all around make your own assumptions on power weight. Say a last straight Bottom TG VS 1st TS just as an example

600's in a 10K lb. boat I want 6's...and TS!! :coolcowboy:

6s over bravos every day not even a question.

Plus a straight bottom with 6s will be fun in the rough! Throw a rooster! Cool Factor!

Theres really nothing positive to say about the bravo blues...........

This!!

A good 6 complete set up. Trannys gimbles etc is probably worth more than the entire boat with the bravos

I'd save up a few more dollars and buy a stepped boat with 6's. It might be a few more $ upfront, but it's worth it in the long run when you look at performance, resale, how much you're going to spend paying for bravo's and boat/drive upgrades (not to mention missing the planned event as you're limping back home with yet another trashed bravo).

IMO, if at all possible do it right the first time and save yourself the money and headaches in the long run.

The cost upkeep on a 6 is big dollar, gears, gimbals, transmissions etc
