A few people last summer tried to tell that the low water pickup Bravo 1's are one to two MPH slower than the regulars! Is there any truth to this?

Nobody seems to know for sure, but I don't think they are any slower

Jeff,
I switched to Low water pickup. But I don't have an answer for you as I repowered the same year.... I do know you must, and I mean MUST. Keep that pickup out of the sand... T

You will suck sand into your motor, and a sea strainer will not help much if any. I always try to start in water at least 4'-5' deep. If I am beached I will push off into deeper water before I start. As far as speed goes, I don't know if they are slower or not but with a high x-dimension you need one.

check out www.eddiemarine.com (http://www.eddiemarine.com) and look under nose cones one of the statements says that you can gain 2-8 mph. that would make them faster to answer your question. Finally
