    Brake woes

    that is not even broken in yet...... have you priced a new truck lately? regarding the calipers. did you clean out the debris from the clips on the pads? that will cause them to bind a bit. did you service the slide pins? the grease in them gets hard and the slide pins quit sliding.

    Options to repower a 33' Larson

    I wouldn't go down in power or drop down from the Bravo to an Alpha Two 502 BBCs, or two 6.2s, or two 6.0s or two diesels. Big hulls need torque. 4.3 or 5.0 won't cut it. A pair of supercharged 5.7s maybe. If you're wanting to go carbed, I would most likely build two 6.2 aluminum LS based...

    propeller doubt

    the motor cares that it can go to full RPM. Do not lug the motor, especially on a new rebuild. that will kill it. what ever prop pushes the boat to WOT RPM of 4800-5200 RPM is the prop to use. on a boat that big with a 4.3, most likely a 13p or 15p. the 17p prop you have is probably too...
