I had 5's on my last 4300v, they were bullit proof. I know they are not a 6, but defeniatly better than a bravo drive. Placement of this drive is very important . They do suck more power, a little harder to plane off and so on but they have a tranny and can take more abuse. My take on boating is reliability, and being on the water. Top speed is important (HINT HINT. TS I want at least 80 or put it up for sale ) but I'll give a few mph over reliability.

Have fun you guys at Sarasota. Jeff

Yep- 850's.

I personally haven't seen it. Maybe this weekend in Sarasota. Trond had it 101 on its initial sea trial. I'veseen 98.9 GPS with 4 big guys and 3/4 full of gas so I would think it should see 102-103 under the right conditions. It may be getting a little help while its down here in Fl. for the next 2 months

yep you will be happer with more power

mine "cruises" nice at 100.. the 36 seem happy at 95 +, 100 in these boats is nothing. (in feeling anyway)

wanna race? Jusk kiddin..

Da, Ya, they will Jazz!
