I'm running 28 Bravos that must have had some work done to them by Mazco since "Mazco" is stamped into them. Here's the kicker with my boat. Since it is a former F-2 boat, the XD must be a little higher than stock. I see someone added 1" spacers to the lowers to ease up on the XD a little. I'm debating removing the spacer and trying my buddie's labbed 30 Bravos. I know it's probably going to be a bit much but just want to see where it leads. Might just need to turn my 28's up a bit and have them labbed. Wife is busting my ballz to just "Leave it Alone!!!!" Nah, that's no fun!:D

To close to 80 to not try. You can always put it back to the way it was!!! Go for it. I've thought about shorties but everyone I talked to about them on a cafe said for the money its not worth the 2 or 3 mph!! But it would put me over 80!!! I'm going to try some 28's this week I'll let you guys know how it goes!!

Typically, people don't recommend them on a straight bottom Gun either but mine is probably 1500+ lbs lighter than a full cabin boat and all that would be required is to remove the spacer so why not? Might not get to it this summer but next spring.....:evilb:

Labbed 28P Bravo I should put you at about 5500-5600 RPM. At what RPM is your peak HP produced?
