I have a 22p brave with massive vent holes, about 20 hrs on prop, in perfect condition. I want to trade it for a 24p Bravo.....any takers?

Funny you ask,i had a 225hp optimax that just stuck a piston ussing a 24 bravo1 with one inch ventilation holes.this motor had a 1.75 ratio lower and it struggled pulling my fat ass up on the slalom board.well,we have a new merc 250XS on order and will hopefully be on the water soon enough.the dealer talked me into the 1.6 ratio which will be good for topend but i am thinking the 24 will be to much for skiing.i will keep you posted

keep me psoted, i have a 300x. When i rebuilt the lower unit i had them lower the gears to 1:75 so the prop is pretty much useless. Im running a 26, but with this heat and a load i think a 24 will be better.
