As far as the tabs on the mistress -- do you think it's because of a heavier lay-up -- more weight forward?

And still need input on the bottom design -- is is the same or a bit different?

I think the hull design is the same. I also think they weigh the same amount. I feel the differance is in the engine and drive package. I've never been on a cafe with trs but they probably right identical to the mistresses. Just my .02

Re: Mistress and cafe hulls

I have an 86 Cafe with 557's and SSM #3's. The X-demension for SSM's is 3 inches higher than a TRS setup. It changes the CG a little. My boat needs a little tab but it still rides like a rock and flies level. Can't go wrong with either boat.

Re: Mistress and cafe hulls

I've only been a passenger on both......the mistress rides flatter and crushes the waves (no question about it).................the cafe has a tendecy to ride a little more nose up and want to fly as my brother has said (wave crusher also)........don't think your goin wrong either way...

i think the bravo cafes need a little tab, but the trs cafes run flat as can be.. i never run tab, only when conditions call for it.... im hoping that the konrads will react the same.....

I suppose I will allow my Mistress (Smokin' Mistress) to be a test boat for new Konrad's. At no cost to me of course. Just so we can test the results and be informed. LOL!
