Jeff,

Have a complete 1.5 ratio Bravo 1 lower with nosecone and low water pickup that I just took off my boat in good working condition (I have upgraded to Max Machine XR lowers). Thought about keeping it as a spare, but I will consider selling to get you back together. Call me @ 419-882-1680 if you are interested.

Sorry about your mishap, I also have a Bravo 1 lower for sale.
Mine is a Performance Bravo 1 lower which has built-in low water pickups.

thanks for the help chris, but where i boat there is a problem with the low water pickups (sand and weeds). still looking for a case with side water pickup or a good used complete one. thanks again chris, jeff

Then you should be using a strainer, side water pickups aren't going to help you unless you happen to run aground often. Low water pickups aren't a problem, on the contrary, they offer more water pressure which is beneficial, especially if you ever but a blower on. Plus I feel they are a selling plus to a potential buyer because of the performance advantage.

Hey Jeff...Sorry to hear of your mishap. If you have the need...I have a brand-new standard Bravo l, in the box, with the full Mercruiser One Year Factory Warranty, available for $3,300.00...I am a private party, not a dealer. You could sell what you have & just bolt it on & go. Just a thought. Let me know. Thanks, Ed
