I bought a new Bravo which I should have by weeks end, I am interested in seeing how the Beast runs with a long leg. Some say the Bravo costs about a mile an hour over the Alpha due to its size. I know quite a few have made the swap and should be able to give me some input.

No have not given up on the BH, will run it again with the right props then make a decision.

On our little boats, the Alpha is 2+ MPH faster

I just got a new 18C with Bravo-1. The dealer said it was a new casing design. I don' know if it has less drag than the older style.

Thanks! Hmmm 2MPH may just put me back where I was last year with the Tempest, doubt the 383 makes more HP then it did. Hope to report soon!

Bald Eagle. If you are talking about the drive in that pic, that is not the new style 2005 up. That is a 2004 and below in the picture.
