Sounds to me like the #6's weren't the problem with the porpoising. I built an '84, 38 Flatdeck with ITS Bravo's and the X dim. as high as I could go and it still ran beautiful.

I've got a few good pics of Primal Instinct too, but I'm still looking for them.

I haven't ever seen or heard of a Flat Deck having 6's that I know of. They didn't start making 6's until a few year after the Flat Deck had been replaced with the Top Gun if I remember right.

Thanks Blee,

You are correct............

There are two 38s in my area that have been converted also.
Curt Ganos has had his done for several years now.
NO BOXES,......he ran with Parnell alot with Parnells 41 Saber.

Last year Ben at Bens Precision Offshore converted a
38 for a Grand Haven mi local Mitch Joppich,..........NO BOXES on this
one either. Last I new Mitch had about 700 to 800 hp with plans to up the
power at a later date. Boat had 3A drives prior.

Ya, I'll take a couple of Mitches boat, it's in the other room. Hey Jon! Joppichs boat had 3As on it.

He has a new windscreen, just not on yet. It is a very cool boat.

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the correction, your right I was thinking of another flat deck that converted from TRS to #5s.

Anyways I went back and fixed my post to reflect 3A's.

Also fixed the typo on 8000 hp.......LOL

Doesn't help writing in an airport terminal from my phone:drink:

Finally back home now,......geeeesh little colder here.

Hope your well we should catch up one of these days!

Take care
Jon

Sorry, couldn't resist. I get corrected half the time I post, with good reason, lol.
It was interesting at Bens with your 6s going on Mitches boat, Mitches 3As going on Todds 38. Wonder where Todds TRS went to?
Your 6s were so nice I thought it was a mistake to paint them blue. But, look they are awesome. Your gundrilled titanium tiebar doesn't hurt either:drink::drink:
