Re: TS TG with big power and #6's?
 
The 38's step bottom was designed mainly for the Bravo drive. However, after Cig did a few with larger power and #6's it was determined that the boat doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. Because of the extra weight of the drives and motors speeds were in the neighborhood of a 108mph. My suggestion would be to stay with the Bravo XR drive and some good horsepower motors. My 2002 38 with XR drives and 575's running 5 bladed Herrings ran 93.8 on GPS. I know my friend's, Spinetickler, 38' with the 575's and intercoolers, etc ran close to 100.

That sounds like the setup right there. Clean, reliable and turnkey at close to a century. :cool:

Hey GL
Fishing is a great way to get away from the rat race of work. I go offshore were cell phones do not work & catch fish like these

Last one I'd go fishing for if I was a single man.

Nothing like a wide-load rack you can see while checking out the tail of the fish.
