as of last night he still had it complete, Tim J been trying to buy for his buddy to get the Konrads they could not agree on price, then I tossed idea but didn't have time to make a trip, he told me 5-6 people wanted it and never showed..

so back to the purpose of this thread...would this have been a good candidate to add a notch in the transom being it had to be replaced anyway?? Just wondering
I don't think at 7-80 mph it's worth the work

Full force , my motivation was two fold , one I wanted to upgrade from my number 3 drives to the stronger Number 5 drives and not spend the $ 15 k i would have needed to put the boxes on and secondly I was looking for improved speed and handling . It is faster , the drives are beafy and the notch improved the mid range handling characteristics and top speed . The upside is it only cost me the materials and the equivalent of about 70 thousand dollars of my time ( LOL ) small price to pay . Never said I was the sharpist pencil in the box . I must admit I think it was worth it for me as I enjoy that kind of punishment . RG.

not a café or tg but cigarette added a notch in my bullet in the 90s. from what I was told it helped that boat. once you figure it out and dial it in it doesn't hop at all. 3800 and 60mph smooth as can be.
