I once owned a boat that I had to be "GENTLE" with the drives. Never again. From now on, its either beefy drives, or simply stick with mild power. I see no point in building engines up, then having to drive the boat like a sissy. If you boat on a calm lake that pretty much allows a 23ft cat to zip along at 100mph, you'll be able to get away with more power, since you're props will likely never leave the water. If you run your boat, in the ocean, great lakes, or generally rough water that requires some throttling action, they wont last long. ESPECIALLY a stock bravo 1

You can do it easily with just a bolt and nut. May cost you $2.00-$4.00 if regular bolt or stainless.
Weld on throttle bracket so that bolt threads and nut face your carb or throttle body's linkage. Adjust so that your carb or throttle body's arm can only rotate about 60% open.
Or you can splurge and spend like $20.
