It sees it's air time as well, one thing to consider here tho I only run 3 & 4 bladed props I think sometimes this is overlooked when people want their Bravo's to last behind bigger power.

I run it pretty hard, have about 80 hrs. on the current set up, 460 total hrs on the drive, I spin it up to 6,000 rpm and it sees 5,600-5,800 often :)

600 HP, 2,800lb 24* bottom 80hrs of use 2006 Bravo 1 upper Imco lower drive shower no issues thus far.

In order to run the -3 you need to run the shortened Imco midsection on the Bravos to get enough clearance for props, I'd like to try one along with a Blackhawk drive, theres been a cpl 18's try Blackhawks in the stock and raised X location with some success. The -2 improved my handeling and I...

Not a 24 Baja but... My Donzi 18 liked a -2 shorty, handeling improved, boat ran flatter with less chine walk and picked up a cpl, I think I could benefit from a -3" if anyone has one. Steve

Here's one of my Whippled Charged Classic 18 running about 87 on this flyby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2EyXQStnjE

I've run with this boat at a Donzi ralley and yes it is a fine piece of work along with the GT-21 he has done. Boat runs strong its, a n/a SB in high 400 maybe 500 HP range, drive is an Alpha SS, owners name, Parnell heck of a nice guy as well. Steve

Don't exactly understand your question, but is the boat stable? That's all relative, it's defiantly a drivers boat, if you just sit in the drivers seat and do nothing but give it throttle and a lil trim then yeah she's gonna get your attention real quick!! Yes it has a tendency to chine walk if...

George, Couple things to take into account here, 1st its a 3200 lb boat running a pretty deep propshaft height (5 1/2") even with the -2", it's been the opinion of some that spinning a larger prop slower is more efficent than turning a smaller prop faster, I do believe this to account for my...

Here comes the comments but, it's a newer style swept back stock Bravo 1 with -2" Imco lower, oh and the upper is 1.65 geared, RPM's are in the 5,800 neighborhood, however I'm running 3 bladed props, slip #'s are in the 7.7-8% range :) Steve

Still prop testing, still need to bring down the RPM's about 300 more which should get me another 4-5 I'd think

That was Geoo's boat ran like 123 mph had a procharged SBC was like 1000 hp crazy sick boat!! I should be able to find another 5-7 mph I believe :) 90 was the end goal.

Thanks went from stock 320 hp to 600 hp should run out at just north 90 when I get it propped right, it's off the chain fun in an 18 foot boat ;)

Rebuilt engine, went from 71 to 85 and still prop testing
