    Boat is coming along!

    I swapped the 200 efi for a 250 Pro XS, got a 28 bravo 1 put on it. Got a blinker trim installed this morning and I haven’t even been to the water yet

    Crosswinds were a killer! 77 into the wind and 78.7 with it. I haven’t measure motor height yet. Will this bravo want to run higher?

    Bravos love to run high (surface)! Bullets like it even more! As long as you got the lower unit to do it. Match made in heaven for sure! Sounds like your rig is coming along nicely...

    Try 3/4” below on that TM, but yes the Bravos love it high.

    What kind of water pressure do I wanna stay at? It’s maxing my 30psi gauge out. Do I wanna go to 15? Or lower?

    15 psi is bottom line safety. I only see super high performance rigs running below that. 10 psi is the lowest I've heard the super high perf guys say...I think they still feel safe with 12 psi...but I don't want to be below 15.

    I remember having that same kinda moment when I first measured too...thinkin "I gotta get this thing up!" Probably gonna find yourself looking at lower unit mods (Bob's) next so you can go even higher. The higher it goes the better she gets. Do not surpass 81/82 mph with the stock Torquemaster case without having coned it or you will blow out and that will ruin your day in a hurry! Be careful out there...
