Mine would do just fine thank you very much !!!!

Den, I'm sure it will, if you remember after leaving Kingdom City the "gas" powered truck was bringing up the rear.

So if don't mind hanging out with BZ, then great!! Haha.

I dont,,,,you and I were to far out front !!! lol

( yes I know I had Rich's truck )

Don't be scared, and its not quite 15,000 lbs.

Bravos yeah, be worried.

You can join the Big Boys, with BT's.

Den should buy The Chief.

Den should buy The Chief.

Could probably get a really good deal on it....... It's a sweet boat.

That's a good deal on that BT too. If it had a trailer, it would be a great buy. They are 11,500 ready to go without fluids. With 650's, the drives should live, but the bigger XR's are a must long term if the HP goes up, (or if you drive like an offshore racer).

That boat needs ALOT of work for what they are asking for it.

Would be cool though !!!

Check the thread about it on OSO right now. Apparently, it was NEVER in very good shape! lol.

Exactly.

The boat was never right to begin with.

Needs full interior,,,,,and whoever put the interior in drilled through the side of the boat.

Im all for through bolting but,,,,,

This was back when I was working with Sean Stinson,,,,, lots of stories

I feel bad ,,,,, this could have been a nice deal

Drive buster. Just ask Mark who has the 46 BT in hammond with 575s. Bobby saccenti couldn't make those bravos survive behind that boat. Mark does have a nice collection of bravos and I believe has swapped drives while boat is on the lift at hammond.

Agree, Joe, if you have ever driven next to one even in 1 ft chop, they often porpoise and that added with the weight, and HP's are a drive nightmare. My buddy used to have a 38 cig with big power and then went to the BT for cabin space and was upset with the ride. One can not argue tho that the cockpit and cuddy are great accomodations for those that spend the night on board and have guests during the day, it is a BIG boat!!! As I think Ratickle mentioned, they just started making it with trips in last several years and it took a lot of pressure off of just the twin setup which I think alleviated a lot of the drive issues. I love the double bolster setup myself, allows your guests to enjoy a great cruise!!!!

Pretty much what Tony J. from hammond said too when I asked him about the ride difference between his 41 apache and BT. His words were "no comparison". Of course comparing two different animals.

I can see the triples helping the drives live. As for the XR's holding up, I am pretty sure Mark from hammond has XR's on his 46. I do know the XR's werent doing to good behind BZ's 42 Fountain with stock 525's either. Ryan's dads old 386 Sonic with 575's liked to shear the vertical shafts in the bravo's too. I forget if they had standard bravo's or xr's. Now, in their 28 Checkmate, with twin 600's, the standard bravo's held up no problem.

With that being said, Mark's 46 in hammond is one AWESOME boat. I can't believe they dont spend more nights on it, the cabin in those things is bigger than a new york apartment! I know he been wanting to upgrade the drives with the ASD bravo conversion, that would make for a awesome setup.

Eric's 43 BT came with Bravos, and the previous owner upgraded to SSM V's. I think he has some Eddie young 750HP or so engines. I dont think that boat has had any drive issues since the SSM upgrade many years ago. He has a real nice setup there.

No drive issues for me (knock on wood) and hope never to have any. It would be a very expensive day!! I suppose I could sell a kidney and one left shoe , Hah!
