Gee, I had a regular Bravo drive years ago that I had built supposably to XR standards for $3600. That drive stood up to 150 hrs on my cat with 700hp. Why not just get a couple rebuilt XR drives and a Sea Tow membership!

Good advice! If you've been hearing the same bad news about SeaTow as I have, you should back up your drive selection with a BoatUS membership!

Gary, I saw you running South on Barnegat Bay tonight around 615pm when the Formula cut in front of you... your boat looks sharp! Enjoy the weekend!

WOW!!!! I just had the pleasure of meeting Gary & Marcy as they pulled up to my shore house in their beautiful Y2K build by Rick (FX10) and powered by an amazing 806hp N/A Ron Potter engine! Gary & Marcy are a testament to how great this boating community is and are genuinely nice people to boot! They invited me for a ride so what was I gonna do... disappoint them and say no? I was on the Y2K faster than white on rice, LOL!! Superbabi is all grown up and sounds like a dragster & performs like a point and shoot missile. I'm still grinning from ear to ear about the ride quality of the Y2K and your genuine hospitality. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! You guys are the best!

Dan, What a great compliment! It was truly our pleasure to finally meet you after 4 years of talking on the site. Glad you enjoyed the BLAST on the Y2K. We were running only at 75% throttle, hopefully, next time, we will be all "dialed in" for a FULL SPEED run. Your vast knowldege & passion of sport boats made for excellent conversation. Stop by anytime.

Gary and Marcy

Gary you know when the end of the year gets closer your going to have to take her to the max and maybe donate one of those drives to the speed gods.The gods are hungry and love bravo drives. I hear they taste like chicken.Anyway you will have either all winter to fix the drive or wipe the grin off your face. But im sure you get a grin every time you open the hatch.
