Hi, Has anybody ever tried a Land@Sea stern jack on a bravo3 ?, Its a 1998 22ft boat. 454 mag,procharger,and will one off of a bravo 1 work,Thanks for any help.

not sure if it would work or not but they are no longer made either..

Why do you have a B3 on a 22' boat??. If you have one use it and put a B1 lower on it. You should pick up 5-6 mph and a little handling.

Agree. Go with a Bravo I and depending on your current X dimension, a shorty lower.

bravo3 was on boat when I bought it. Procharger and custom cam,etc going on this winter.Already have 28 and 30 pitch props(1.81).,so I figured i'd try it. Have heard of several people running 3's with big horse power, 540's etc and they claim you only lose 2 to 3 mph on top and bottom and mid is better?

Yeah, you might need two props to keep yo ass in the water with that power in a 22'!

Just finishing a similair project. Customer's 21' bow rider, 496Mag, bravo three 1.81 26pitch props, 61mph @ 4800. Installed a bravo one, 23 mirage+, 64mph on the limiter. Installed a Raylar 103 kit, put on his three drive, 68mph, but you can feel a vibration coming from the drive and the props are showing signs of cav burn already. Tried two sets and had same speed at 5100rpm wot and 5400wot. Put Bravo one back on, 72mph and better hole shot then the three drive.. Bravo three's work great on big heavy cruisers...

I had a Stern Jack (Bravo 1) on a 22.5 ft open bow Crownline with a 600 hp Procharged 383. It ran a tad over 75. I knew a guy with the same hull with a Wippled 502 and a bravo 3 that ran a little over 70. I definitely think the bravo 3 will cost you speed when you get over 65 ish.

sounds like a bravo1 lower might be the way to go or -2 shorty? My prop centerline is 8 inches below bottom of boat. Is this pretty deep? I have 1.81 gear ratio in the 3 ,upper gears are 29/27 lower are 16/27.what ratio lower do I need ?

Unfortunately with that gear set you can only make a 1.36 ratio, and you're probably not going to have enough horsepower to make that work. Best off selling you three drive and buying a used or take off XR..
