Waiting on a set of proepllers from Hering to see how it's going to perform but from the first sea trial it's going to be good. Easy easy boat to dock, steer's and handles great!

That is bad ass, however one of my drunk friends would cut their leg off with the props that far back...

A lot of cruisers that size have a bigger platform anyway. That's what I'd be doing. Put the ladder on one side (or both sides).

You never know who is going to step across your boat when rafted; a longer platform would be a big plus when you have that kind of hardware out where most people figure it is safe to jump in.

Rik, I love it. Would love that setup down in the keys. Maybe in a few years.

How far do those props extend out compared to the Bravo 3? Even trimmed up at the sand bar my props are still tucked under the swim platform... Either way, it's still cool...
