Bravo III
i found a good deal on a used 8.1 HO..I'm ready to pull the trigger.
But talking to a friend with experience, he says the whole thing is asking for trouble. That my Bravo III outdrive, having been worn in by the 5.7L could blow up having a new more powerful engine hooked up to it.
Opinions? Anything else I may not be aware of?
My boat is a 2006 Sundancer 260. I want to keep it, having put a ton of upgrades in electronics etc..plus I really like the boat. I also would love the extra power too. The 496 was offered on the boat from the factory so I thought that was encouraging...I'm assuming it's the same outdrive for either engine, being a Bravo III.
Any opinions welcome, thanks.
