Does anybody know how much HP and Torque I can put through a Bravo 1. I won't be doing any hole shots and will back off if I catch some air.
Thanks

they are rated to 500hp. It seems to depend on the boat. The bigger and heavier the boat the less HP you can put thru it. If you say have a 50' nortech with bravos 500hp is gonna pop em. But you could run 650hp on an 18' runabout and be fine.

how much does 37 OL with twins weigh??? 12k seems real heavy. The added engine and drive would only be 2000lbs more. that woudl make a standard 37' ol around 10k and i know they can't wieght that much. A 38' kv scarab wieghs 9100 and they are 10 years old???

Thanks for the input.
Working with a 25' Formula deep vee...
Sounds to me like it might be right on the edge. Boat does weigh 4200 lbs.
Any insight appreciated
