sportmaster is the lower part of the outdrive.. being pointed at the front tip. & usually 2" shorter.... regular xr is painted black with no point.

Yes,Racerx6 put some sportmaster foots on the standard Bravo uppers.35 Fountain single step, with 415mpis,He said it slowed it down 3-4mph.I think he was thinking that it wouldn't be that bad, also he liked the looks of them, Ive heard that the skeg is what hurts it.Last I heard he was selling them.

If your wanting a better foot buy a Imco case.

On mine I had the standard bravo foot ,then went with the BMax lower, I didn't see any difference,Everybody told me that the bravo blunt nose hurts ya at a 100+

I called merc racing and found out that the guts are the same. As far as speed I don't Know because this is my first 388 hustler. But @ Utah Lake 4500 elevation, half tank of gas, two adults it gps @ 84 mph. Lake Mead 1400 elevation half tank of gas, three adults, two kids gps @ 86 mph. Still running same props 32" bravo 4 blades that came on the boat from Ohio. Going to Lake Havasu in 3 weeks so will see how it runs @ 450 elevation close to sea level.
