Re: TG vs CAFE - w/same power. Why are they faster
 

Scott -

I would think that the hulls are very similar to the point that it would be the "80 and over" mark that the TG would get up out of the water and would be more stable - BUT - that longer the boat, the more its effected by cross winds. I was hoping you would have more to say about this -- Who would know the real answer?

Thanks

Greg

Re: TG vs CAFE - w/same power. Why are they faster
 

I've got to tell ya. My cafe loves to get out of the water.( other then when its prefectly flat.) I've been suprised how fast my brothers topgun is with 415hps and bravos. His cabin seems to have a lot less fiberglass in it. Which would make it lighter. Maybe it would be faster??????

35 top gun had no step playboy had a step difrent boats

Re: TG vs CAFE - w/same power. Why are they faster
 

TopGun is a notched hull too......Cafe is not.......:cool:

Cash Bar,

Yes - The newer ones with stepped are faster, but I should say we are talking the non-stepped vs. the same HP - Maybe Kramer should race his brothers, but I think Kramer has more HP - in his boat. I would think the most common power for the Cafe and TG was HAWK back in the day. Yes the stepped hull will beat a cafe with the same power

Cash Bar is referring to the notch at the transom.

Re: TG vs CAFE - w/same power. Why are they faster
 

I would say the top gun my self just because of th eover all lay out of the hull

Re: TG vs CAFE - w/same power. Why are they faster
 

Tony, do you have pics of your boat?

Re: TG vs CAFE - w/same power. Why are they faster
 

You think that little notch in the rear makes that much speed?

Just think what a little hook would do............................
