Default nortech 43's w/trip bravos

I pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but how have the bravo's been holding up on the 43's w/triple 525's.

Ron,
What are you thinking??? Now you have a kid and a dog you need a bigger boat....

I don't think Wrinkleface has had any troubles with his triple 525 boat w/ bravo's.

I don't know what I'm thinking since I have 7hrs on the boat so far this year. But air conditioning and some extra room would be nice.

saw a 43v listed w/triple 625 nortech's, broker called me back and said the boat has xr's on it, I'm thinking it will be a bravo blower. Says the motor's are fresh rebuilds and the hull only has 100 some hours on it. Why would they have to rebuild after 100 hours, I would think they are good for at least 250 hrs.

Anyone have any insight on it, it's listed in boattrader.

The Nortech 625's are rock solid n/a engines, you will see 300-400 hours before they need a rebuild, are you sure they were'nt just freshened, with trips the xr's will hold up well with the 625's, but anything can be broke.
