So RE what is the best possable solution to a 900-1000 h.p boat thats has a bravo1 on it i dont want to do a lot of work just a swap out really. not looking for the cheap way out just easy i was told about somehtign called a max machine drive by marinetrans-noppa marine- out of fairhaven mass what do you guys think
Mike S.S.

I've heard of only one Max Machine installation on a twin ~ 800 HP 390 and it didn't hold up at all.

The best advice is to talk to other 280 owners running big horsepower - find out what they've tried and perhaps what they'd like to try and take it from there. I don't think there is a clear cut winner in the Bravo after market but Imco offers a very complete system with an optional HD gimbel assembly. Be prepared - you'll always be finding a new and latest "weakest link" in your drive train!

Good luck!

Thanks Re i had alreayd talked to MikeS280- he is runing a bravo xr and has blown three but said it hold up well i heard of the B-Max convertion also from hotboat mag Know your drives articale that said the b-max was allaround best but i wll do more research
