By the way I have one extra #6 wetsump with a 1.5 ratio.

Had two extra Transome assemblys but sold them a month or so back.

How difficult is the conversion to a #6 from a Bravo, providing you have the room for a tranny?

The big thing in a single engine boat of this type of weight is that a #6 is going to be just about Bullet Proof. With all the race guys running around #6 props aren't too hard to find either.

If you use an extension box, you can put the transmission in the box. This would allow you to keep the engine in the stock location. This combination has been bullet proof for me.

It would be a great feeling to know you could let the dogs out and not fear drive failure.

You don't fear drive failure when you've got a Bravo, you expect it
