my guess is trannie eats around 50 hp, plus the weight and bravo is smaller and maybe more speed efficient???

so, my guess is... 2 or 3 mph faster in bravo?

I agree, most cafe's aren't notched. so its just the tranny and the weight.

You do get the benifit of the much easier bilget to access with the bravo's...

To me the trs boats are easier to work on, plenty of room in front of the motors either way, and with the transmissions they are out from under the hatch /transom over hang

Boats are easy compared to light duty diesel trucks!
Think salt water boats are nasty work on a damn plow truck! Lol
