Gen I bravos 3s have a corrosion issue, but I think you can help with some gen 2 anodes and the mercathode system.
I have one that is pretty terrible looking from sitting at a mooring and never being maintained, but it seems to work fine so far.
I haven't been able to air out my bravo 3 setup yet- the 25 footer had tank trouble. Previous owner said mid 40 kts with a 350 MAG MPI and 22" counter rotating props on a 1:2.20 lower unit. Just noodling in a river without space to air it out, I blew thru 32 knots when I bumped the throttle a little before I could pull it back, so I think I believe it. I wasn't anywhere near WOT. It hooks up well, and slows the boat very quickly when you chop the throttle.
