I have a pair of Bravo 1 34's lab finished by Mercury in excellent condition, only used several times, that I would sell to you?

Give me a call or email.

MWDILL, When it was Throttle Therapy do you know what props it had?

Default Throttle Therapy

I also know the owner of the boat when it was Throttle Therapy. It had a set of 32 bravo's. The boat ran in the 90's, it never had a gps on it though. I spoke also to the person they sold it to and he also said it ran high nineties with the Herring's. I can't believe that, a new owner of a 388 w/ Herring's and no driving experience in that boat like Strip said it would be a huge handful. My 388 ran 100+ w/ 32 bravo's from b blades and it was a huge handful above ninety five or so. It took me a while to get used to the chine walking. When I spoke to the guy about driving the boat he had no clue. Your boat should be running faster depending on the altitude and the shape of the props. If it still has the props I remember, they could definitely use some work, they were pretty whipped. The people that owned it that I knew were meticulous about the boat. The boat is beautiful. Good Luck

You must have a 1.50 gear? I allways wondered what my boat would do with 5 blade HerringsIve been trying to find a set of the Maxumus 5bl 28's.Iam afraid of the stress it would put on the drives.

Throttle Therapy had 1.50 gears. I had the b max ht's, what a joke, the guy that bought my boat has already had them apart twice. The gearsets had hairline cracking in them and he tried to get parts from Dean under warranty and was told he didn't have the parts. He didn't want any labor, just parts. I think all the 500 efi 388's had 1.50's.
