My boat has a #5 on an 18” box non stepped no notch. Race layup but not really light by any stretch just no cabin or liner. Never ran any other drive on it nor driven or ridden in one with a bravo to compare. Been in plenty of single engine bravo boats including Afew 24 panteras just not a 28.

i think like said by others you’d need big HP to make up the difference for the added hassle. It would be a good place to start but I would bet you could maybe lower the drive some. Check 300s old checkmate was a 6 I believe 3 below the bottom. My boat however did not like the drive that low. Been there and was disappointed. The more I raised the drive the better the boat handled and the faster it went.
