Just wondering if anyone out there has added a notch to the transom of a non notched gun or café racer with good results? I have found that only 3 or so cafe's came with the notch and is there a reason for that? It seems like it wouldn't be that big of a deal to add one especially if one was say like redoing the transom or stringers or whatever....I see claims of 3-5 mph gained with the notch so am just wondering if anyone has added one??

Thanks

Will do thanks!! How did it work out for you?? I'm sure it's probably all outlined in that thread but for sake of sparking thoughts on this one??

Rick, what props are you running now? Also, where is prop shaft measured to bottom of hull?

I spaced down 2" last year, going to go to 1" this year. I noticed that it simply could not get above a certain RPM with such big diameter props.

I gotcha...makes sense..would boxes do essentially the same thing and not give you the hop?? The boats in question really are an 87 gun with konrads no notch obviously and a 90 café with bravos and no notch...not that I would do it if I ended up with one of these just curious really more than anything...trying to spark some conversation on the subject

thanks guys!!

Is the Konrad TG the one you looked at back in November? If so, I had seen on FB over the weekend that its getting parted out due to wet transom and stringers.

Yup same one...I saw it said sale pending but was thinking of calling on it again and see what the story is....guess that settles that lol...still looking at a café as well

Might still be a decent purchase on that gun...if the price is right of course....and depending on how far forward on the stringers is wet

If your not interested , Is there a contact # for the soggy TG......friend is looking for a pair of Konrads if its being parted out........I'm not on FB
