(388 was a great ride too) I have run the boat up to 98mph on both gps systems with 5 blade maximus 34P props and was hitting the limiters. Based on those speeds Hering recommended 6 Blades at 35 pitch we'll see next week when I get them. The boat should run 103-105mph, we'll see. PM me if you want some detailed stuff. All and all very solid boat, but you pay for the "Exclusivity of OL" which I personally prefer.

Thanks. I've heard they were a squirrely ride but coming from a 388 that might be less noticable than others like a Cig but

but as long as the boat is solid, can actually run without any craziness then all is good.

The customer will (if he likes it) be changing the drives to Arnesons so I am not concerned with the Bravo's living. He will have to bring propellers just to test it as the boat has no props. Kinda sucks to have to get propellers just to test ride it and then not keep the drives but....

The boat I was rolling around with was a 46. The helicopter was filming him for boat pix.

I heard that the 39 GTX was a handful over 100 and not such a great hull. Is the quattro the same hull?

I believe he bought his boat from CA that was originally from MA.

So is there a fuel tank problem with these boats?
