Pretty embarassing on a poker run if you drives kep breaking huh?

Whats all this chit about breaking Bravos????
I took my Bravo boat to the Casino this weekend ,,, and I did not see any boats there with Sixes on them!!! Just a lot of boats with Bravos and the owners were having a Great time !!!
My Bravos have over 225hrs on them ,,, I guess its time to change the Royal Purple again!!

The boat can always be rigged with 6's, you just gotta write the check! The isn't "only" offered with 700's. You could go with 1075's if you would like. Man that would be a machine!

POOF

I have a Lip-Ship Edition 2003 Gladiator with 700 Zuls & Bravo's that runs
100 plus mph all day long and had nothing ever go wrong with my bravo's.
I had 138 hours on them before I brought it back to Michigan and Phil @ Lip-Ship suggested that we have them feshened up so we did. It cost me $3,800.00 for both of them and now my bravos 191 hours and still have no problems!! It amazes me that so many (or 2) people can comment on this when they have never even own something close to these boats. By the way how much does it cost to maintain a #6 boat with huge power @ a 191 hours?
