Bravo 1 XR or #3 drive
 
Hi guys. We have a 29 foot single engine mono hull boat at 3900 pounds with 950 HP megablown 510 inch Merlin engine. It has a #3 drive with a B & M trans. We where thinking of going to a Bravo 1 XR drive to save weight. We run at 100 MPH now but are not sure weather a Bravo will handle the power. Can anyone help. Thanks from New Zealand

900 hp is pushing it a bit, would it live? maybe but it is more then it was designed for. your better off with what you have......

this boat has twin 525s with xrs and speedmaster lowers 97mph 42 ft fountain

Keep The #3 . As long as you can. You don't need to join the Bravo breakers club. You could probably sell the #3 and have more than enough for a Konrad conversion. Just did this on a friends boat. The best drive for the money by far. BBB
