100% agree!

Dunno, I have a similar pad on my 1990 Mirage.A notch would have been nice too, allowing me putting my drives' X dim higher when I redid the transom years ago .Deadrise is 24 degree on my boat but the pad looks like of the OL's.

I am pretty sure I know where the pad came from,

OUTERLIMITS!!!

just because its looks similar to others does not mean it is.

There are a lot of boats that have a pad with a notch that look just like the OL and they are not even close.

I know the boat business is full of copy cats just splashing bottoms and selling them as their own. OL is not one of these. This is the new bottom people will be trying to copy.

Let's keep in mind that notched transoms are nothing new; and to be sure, there are different schools of thought on their usefulness/desirability from a pure racing standpoint. Plenty of race guys will tell you they will help the boat in other areas without speed being one of them. Others believe raising the drive and pushing it farther aft beynd the notch is useful.

Pads, notches, steps, nothing new, boats had them before WWII .No one is comparing boats to the NEW OL29 here, just pointing out some similarities,lol.There were racing boats with the prop front of the sterndrive yet nobody criticizing Volvo adapting that idea!
