Was the boat set up at the factory with a bravo or was it converted to the ITS from another drive? Looks great, I really like the swim step placement and the whole transom look. What Hp are you running?

Set up at the factory with a bravo 1 and 496 HO. Added the ITS and CMI headers this winter. No change in drive height.

Glad to hear all went well !!!! Sounds like you guys had some pretty good test conditions... Now if we can only get IT'S brother to make a splash sometime in the near future I can smile a bit more..

Yeh Scott, I checked out your new fan propulsion system and I have to say I prefer the ITS. Best I just pack up my sawsall and come up there and get to work on that Saber and finish it up.
I put 50 gallons in my boat today. Man did that hurt... maybe I shouldn't of been in such a hurry!

Yeah I was kinda hoping that my new forced induction drive would catch on but maybe not.. Sawzall whats that I whittled the transom out with a pocket knife & a hand file...

again I am really glad to hear everything worked out well.. & it helped the handling... Any idea how & if propslip , rpms , ect.. changed any ? or was the water to nasty to tell ?

Scott, I don't know yet on the slip but the rpms on the bravo 1 went from 4200 to 4500. Speed was from about 65 to 70 but not gps #s so probably somewhat less. The rev 4 will be interesting and should get the rpms where they need to be.
I think the ITS helped a bunch in the rough conditions as well as the steering. I was surprised by the handling in the rough we had. The injector cleaning and flow had some effect as well as the CMIs. My injector flow was 9.6% flow difference between the highest and lowest flowing. New plug and wires also. Many changes so so performance gains are going to be hard to quantify.

Any one looking for a mirage plus 25p in nice shape let me know. Also have the original bravo 1 with shower and transom assembly in excellent shape. The gimbal is tight and the bravo has less than 100 hours. Fresh water.

it really is Awesome.
that boat ran nice over very choppy water. most likely a 25mph wind and white caps covered the lake slap up. It was killer
