The dimension X was already set by Jo at the factory, the drive will be setup
with upgrades for more horsepower, an XR will break just as easy
as a bravo 1 if you do not know how to drive the boat. If u launh of the
like a drag racer even on a 22ft donzi you'll be dead in the
water, its all about skills guys this is not first boat that I build
i'm a newbie on this site not to boating I live in heart of powerboating
i've grown up as a kid around powerboats my bestfriends
dad had a 28 Pantera with twin 383's small blocks and TRS
To me that has always been the best rough riding boat next to a
Cigarette which will always be number one for me.

Congrats Underload. Do you have an estimated time for completion? Paint? Or all white? Post some build pics along the way. Good luck with your build. Can't wait to see it done.

I'm thinking with 500hp range and no holeshots you can make a bravo hold up just fine ....

By saying bravo's are easy to come across in Miami , I hope your not meaning there's one on every lift ... LOL ( That was a JOKE )

My Bravo 1X lasted 7 hours behind the 525. My XR, 3 seasons and still going. The rest of your plan sounds good. Good luck with it.
