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.

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 .
