Thanks ! So the flat deck it’s a awesome boat !!! The 90s Topgun’s with notch in the transom react slot different to center of gravity issues. I rode in a 95 Gun that had the liner removed and factory stringers retained and it was awesome it few very straight. With the stringers I built I prolly have another 650 pounds up there so I’m hoping she crushes !!! Hopefully I’ll know next season!! I have spent the last 4 days 12 hour days on it cabin is all done gel coating tomorrow!!!

Division1 that is interesting to learn . I put a notch in my Flat Deck a number of years ago when I decided to go from No 3 drives to No 5 drives and avoid running standoff boxes . I believe mine is only the second flat deck to have a notch, Gary Kolfski put one in the FD he owned also a very cool boat There is a thread on this forum some where ( How to put a notch in a Flat Deck) . I have shyed away from moving forward weight because of the troubles Kvogt had . I may now revisit . Cheers RG.

5200 on all stringers to bond new pieces in
Through bolted the angle in the stringers. After setting pieces on I drilled and tapped the angle so I can bolt the new pieces in.
In and ready to go to glass
