I have an XR with 23 hours on it that is for sale.

I also sell the only drive with no failures to date. . . EVER.

Give the B1 a chance. I have 2 seasons on mine. Don't hammer it to get on plane and keep the drive in the water. Who knows...you may never have to replace it.

I will have one , possibly two professionally rebuilt Bravo 1's for sale soon if you are looking for spares.

Re: 502whipple with bravo 1
 

If you stick with your bravo or even upgrade to an XR, make sure to change your gear fluid often...like every 10 - 15 hours. Guys have had great luck by doing this.

How much

Re: 502whipple with bravo 1
 

$2750 plus S&H. I have one for sure will tear into the other to see what it needs.

Re: 502whipple with bravo 1
 

I've run my Bravo 1 since 1989 through 4 motors two of which were over 600 HP and ran at over 6000 RPM now I've run the same drive with 800+++ HP all this season with no problems and never once since 1989 have I ever had a problem other than changing a U-Joint. .... YES IT CAN HANDLE IT. BE NICE TO IT. Change the fluids EVERY season. It will be nice to you.

With your luck, you should run out and buy a lottery ticket :D

Re: 502whipple with bravo 1
 

It depends on the weight of the boat, type of water and like you stated, how you drive.

Try it and see is all I can say. A standard bravo lasted on my 24 Pantera with over 600 HP for 4 years. An XZ lasted 50 hours on my 28 Pantera with 600+ HP


Good luck!!
