Merc #3 vs BMAX
 
Looking for some advise, Thinking of putting twin 725's on a 4300 NORTECH, I know if I use the #3 it has a tranny which robs HP, but is it more reliable than the BMAX. Thanks Jeff

2nd Q's. Would this boat W/Triple 525's and xr's last, Im concerned on the drive issue, Thanks Jeff

The speedmasters will have a much beefier gimble than the bravo

Thanks Lucy, looks great and hauls a**not bad for twinns:D What is the price difference between #5 vs #6 and how much less power can the #5 handle.
