Oh you have just a little shorty?! I have a 3ft and was lost on where to put it. Where did you get that 1 from ?

I got it about 12yrs ago and it cost around $20K. Funny thing is it was a buy an antenna get a boat free deal.
J/K I'd check West Marine or ebay.

I have a friend that has an '89 330 Bravo boat and all it will do is 65 with 23" Mirage+ 3 blades.

I finally ran my 27" 3 blade Mirage non-plus. I will now be selling my Bravo1's. The new stakes really work well with the 3 blades.

I scare the heck out of 80mph, but haven't gone over it. Maybe this weekend up at HotBoat I'll try to get it.

Mr Scarab 09-01-2014 08:47 PM

That's some nice speed, I would love to be in that area. What hp are running with the new engines? I have just been flipping back thru this thread you started for more ideas.

I'm assuming around 570HP. The new cams brought the TQ and HP curves closer together so now I propped up and spin lower RPM's 5700 vs 6500 speeds are about the same. Come over to the great state of MI any time for a ride.
