So Konrad has these sweet extension boxes they have all the steering and stuff build in them. What’s your thoughts. Again the boat ran good before . But always heard boxes helped to.

Yes i have a pair of those. Similar to ITS. It's their ACE package where the transmission installs in the box. I do not have them installed yet though because we are finishing up all the transom & stringer work. If i remember right, the box is about 8" deep.

Hmm ok I think there designed for the bravo replacement with the trans in box. My trans mounts behind the motors like the factory trs. Wonder if I could run longer input shafts on drives and leave trans we’re they are. Or just leave we’ll enough alone lol

Yes you can leave your trans as is & have custom input shafts made.
I figured this would be the closest to a baller setup as i will ever have, so i decided i would move my BW's to the box & move engine backward to Bravo location. Had to buy rear mounts for the trans in box, & new tailstocks since the 540 uses larger input shaft. All told was another $3,800. Made my great deal on my Konrads less of a deal.

Lol I hear that. We’ll I lightened up my cabin or lack there of a cabin know lol so I don’t want to move much more weight back she will be bow proud. I’m going to put her back together the way she came apart it ran real well. Hopefully it will again.

Hi Division 1 , I did see increase speed . Before the notch see ran about 72 / 73 mph after the notch 76 / 78 . I am hoping if I take 1 inch of spacer out and maybe a 26 or 27 pitch prop I will see 80 . But I won’t sacrifice planing for speed . Right now boat runs really well . Let me know if you any other questions . I had a thread on this forum “ How to put a notch in a Flat Deck “ . Cheers RG .
