Ran Dom, How is your new shortie setup working out ? Now that you have some run time, do you feel the handling aspects are as good as the longer lower ? Do you like the Bravo shop version more or less than the Merc Sportmaster ? Lots of questions here , I'm still on the fence over this, and would really appreciate your input. Thanks in advance.

RaggedEdge, I feel my boat has really benefited from the -2 lower , the boat seems more stable at top speed with no negative handling issue's. I can say there really was no difference in top speed (1 MPH @ most) comparing the SM lower & BShop. I think you would notice it more on a 100MPH boat then in the mid 80's. For me it was Worth the 4-5 MPH speed gain. I'm currently having Brett work on a set of props, so we will see what happens.
Rebel Heat how did you make out???

Glad to hear things are comming together for you. A close friend just had BBlades do some 5 blades for him and they are doing his 4 blades now, he has been very pleased so far. Keep us posted on your progress, love to see a Fountain run even faster.
