That is pretty. Understated and timeless colors and scheme.

Holy notched transom! I’ve never seen the notch go the entire width of the boat and also completely encase 380 tabs. I guess you have to with that many props lined up, I’ve just never seen it. Thanks for sharing.

It’s needed, to float 2700lbs of OB hanging off the engine bracket. Keeps the transom up at non planing speeds. Despite that I believe 39 top fish has a deck floor below the water line and is not self bailing. The transom door is on top of a little 6” wall. On a really sporty run back from Bimini I was running with one and it was holding a **** ton of water in the back of the cockpit when it got back. The rear seat passengers were in like a bath and the seat cushions were floating. Opening the transom door might have helped but the waves were so big everyone was probably holding on for dear life instead.
My boat has floor scuppers and the floor is above the waterline. So if fish boxes and deck hatches have the rubber perimeter gasket in tact, most water coming over the gunnels on to the deck should drain with out relying on the bilge pumps.
It’s one limitation of my hull that was modified in later years, more flotation under the integrated transom bracket to help float 660lbs verados vs 500lbs 2 strokes it was originally designed for.

That’s not a top fish it looks to be a 41 GTR or GTS.
and it’s not technically a notched transom, it’s the bracket for the motors that runs as a vee to be esthetically pleasing and match the hull lines (and like hogie said a lot beacier that way). Look down at the hull, it has no notch and no pad.
