38 Top Gun Standoff Boxes or not???
 
I have a 1990 TG Notched transom TRS Boat converting to Bravos, should I put 12" Standoff Boxes?

Does it better the Ride, Faster?

Forget the Bravos, keep the TRS.

couldent agree more .keep the trs ,if your worried buy 1 spare right drive and if you break a left swap the prop shaft .

Bought boat without power nor drives, have all the Bravo gimbles, Drives etc.

Just wanted to know if they ride better with or without Boxes.

Typically the extension boxes puts the props back farther in cleaner water and make the boat more capable because it lengthens the overall running area. Not sure how the balance will be since the boat was designed around transmissions and drives. Now you are adding bravos and boxes. Good thing is you will be able to play with the x dimensions and boxes. Plus today more prop choices also help in boat capabilities..

My boat originally had Bravos... I later added 12" boxes and dramatically improved the boat.. speed, handling etc...
I now have 4's with boxes even better

Notched transom with the bravos and boxes?

Starting with a blank canvas I'd think it wouldn't matter much

automobili_v12 06-19-2013 08:41 PM

How much speed did it improve?

What type of handling did it improve?

Yes sir on a 98 gun with the notched transom...

Picked up a couple mph and the boat just carried itself better all the way around.
