Well, first off I appreciate the congrats. We, like most here boat inland lakes and rivers. I don't really care to hear about "REAL OFFSHORE PROPS" as any validity in the statement will be exempt in this matter. How you raise your children - Now I know you yourself do not have kids, because if you did, you who most certainly know a 3 year old doesn't exactly follow orders like an E1... Much less her friends that may be along for the ride or accidental (yes they have those too...) slips. Yes when rafting we spend 95% of the time on the swim platform and floating behind it. Usually in groups. So, the guy that doesn't trim in completely during this tie up is quickly labeled the ******* and will either trim in or have it done for him. I suppose guards "could" work... I would probably be the one to fabricate bar stools to sit on them; "Wet bar" could be the boats name. :)

A friend also had a 388 .....he too had a bottom issue that was much more serious then mine....he sold the boat immediately after repair. When I was involved owning it...I heard another bottom story... Not saying anything but check bottom for cracks and/or repairs...... |

Lots of misconceptions on this thread! WOW!!!
Overall cool boats with LOTS of good reviews, congrats on the sale and upgrade! Arneson drives, or ANY drive on an extension box, are further back in the water. Plus the Arneson use the SAME propeller as EVERY REAL OFFSHORE outdrive. I would much rather raise my children properly, and maybe install prop covers, then have the BRAVO BLUES.... Don't forget about rafting with friends that have drives hanging far off the back, Plus ANY ANY ANY prop WILL hurt when bumped into or fallen on. There are MANY cases where people have been sliced open with standard bravo 4 blade props..... |

Yeah, to each their own opinion. Obviously the man making a living on them will have a strong one... and I get that. But for us swimming around them, kids doing cannon balls, ect... well, just look at an ASD boat and tell me how you would like your kids back there??
1. Blowing up drives, kids do cannon balls off the back. 2. Badass drives, kids do cannon balls off the bow. Hmmmm ... the choice seems so hard!! 3. Don`t be such a pu$$y. http://33outlaw.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p105994809-4.jpg |

True. Never cut myself on my cleavers but sure did on my bravo props. There may be a false sense of security with Bravos whereas you stay the hell away from cleavers.
http://33outlaw.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p254890670-4.jpg I won`t gross anyone out with picture of the wound :D At least with merc stuff whether it's a bravo or #6 the cavitation plate offers some protection. With ASD there is nothing. |
*****es, beer, and beats off back of boat. The bow is for bow riders and anchor bins. We chilling off the back!! :D
