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

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.

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.....

Talking Re: Mistress and cafe hulls

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!
