I agree, depends on the driver. Had a buddy blow his bravo, behind a 496 mag ho, in a 28 footer. But he only new one throttle position..now he knows more. Well atleast when airborn he remembers to back off...I told him it wouldn't last long like that, now he knows.

So what are some good/simple/cheap internal upgrades to the bravo one that will help it last under bigger power?

Our buddy Albert has a 28 Pantera with almost 1000hp with a bravo with a tricked out lower unit. It all depends on the driver

couple years ago, I was in a 32' advantage with twin 502s with CMI headers, (about 450+ hp aside) with upgraded propshafts. NO problems

Re: can Bravo one handle 430hp?
right on....i am starting to think the place to put a little money is in a labbed prop. I have a three blade 23P right now, and am thinking about a 4blade at 24p. What do you guys think?
