I want to try one but i have not getting much info on them. I dont know if it need 1'' - 2'' or 3'' shorty, mine is a single engine i think i can't go as hight than a twin engine setup but i am not sure on that.

For now std height bravo lower i am 7,375'' below the edge of the V of the hull and my cavitation is 1'' over the edge of the V.

Also the 26 Bravo made the boat handle much better than the mirage I had on it. I can trim way more and for cruise I run it about half trimmed normally it carries the bow really well.

Most people wouldn't believe me but my livorsi speedo is really close to my gps. If I redo my transom someday I want to raise my drive height about an inch.
