I assume you are having issues keeping the bow down, especially in seas at lower speeds which is common with bracket installation caused by CG shift. In your case with a CC hull, I would go with a 20’. You will loose a couple of knots top end and your 30 knot cruise will be around 4500 but there won’t be a fuel penalty and the DF 300 likes to run at that rpm. The 22” is just a little to much when running in seas. Being a CC I would look to shift as much gear weight forward as you can but you don’t have to go crazy. The Bravo 1 will do as I discussed above but you will have to raise the motor up more than you would think. Also, I have a standard Bravo 1. They make several variations that may work as well or better but I am more than pleased with what I ended up with.
Ok I see they have the bravo I long tube or Lt is that similar to the standard bravo 1 ?
