Great idea , I would think you would need stand off boxes to make it work. Though you might want to win a lottery first.

I agree, since a Flat deck has no notch like the newer 36/38 's !
I mean i dont think you realy need them , but it would improve the #6's by a lot !

Jay I'm no expert for sure but I figured because most of the # 5 's on flatdecks I've seen seem run to boxes it would benefit the #6 set up given it is also a short drive so to speak ( unlike the #3 or 3A drive).
The lottery crack still applies though.
Just my two cents.

Most Top Guns have a noched transom and the 38 flat deck did not. I would think a #6 with a box would work better.

If your considering this on a 38' flat deck it will porpus with extension boxes. With just the drives you already get a 12" set back with the #6 transom assembly and it will work fine.

If you search the forums about 7 years back a chick had a 38 with boxes and #6s,..sweet set up and it porpused.....she didn't care cause she like how it looked.

But per the forum comments everyone that new the boat seemed to agree the boxes had to go. Im going off memory, ......so just do a search for 38s with 6s and see what pops up.
