Early and mid 90's Bravo 1's. Factory drives mated to 330-400hp Chevy BBC's.

As much as 600-900 hrs on some of them.. Keep an eye on the magnets for metal particals. Heavy fuzz mean things are loosening up.. and tapered bearings have metal run thru them, which loosens things up more..
Hope this helps.

As of last year my 1993 24 outlaw still had the original drive on it. It had a 454 mag, bumped up to about 425hp and for the last 3-4 years has had a 525SC. I'm guessing it 600-700hrs. they tore it down for inspection, and all looked good a couple years ago.
