    Cool
    Lets get a little more info on the Bravo Shops new owner and what future plans may hold. I know us BT guys need a stronger drive since factory merc stuff doesnt hold up that well for us.

    John, lets here what makes your stuff greater than the rest

    Excellent point Chris

    1st off it would be the 5" upper gear set.
    2nd would be larger shafts
    3rd would be internally cooled drive housing
    4th new heat treating process on gears and shafts
    5th larger bearings
    6th would be all new machining process for housings, both upper and lower will be CNC machined to exact spec.


    What else would you like to know?

    Glad to hear the specs on your drive.

    John, would you agree that now it is a family ran business with your direct involvement and oversight, this will be a much better product than previous. I would think qauilty control and tolerances would be much better than before, especially with your background in machining and fabrication.

    Chris rest assured that I will repair your drives myself and yes they will be perfect.

    As we have 2 other shops this is my little project and I will be doing all the drive work myself until I have it where I can train one of my sons to step in and take over.

    1 more thing to add to the list I have set up a deal with using a power coat that was developed for Caterpillar that will withstand all kinds of chemicals and salt water so all the drives will be getting this process done.

    And just so you know it is not Yellow.

    Are you running stock power?
    What props?
    The XR is a little lite for the BT you may want to think about something else. We can get smoking deals on new xrs if that the way you want to go!
