Default 41 Transom

Why do the 41's have two different transoms, is there a difference or no, where the transom meets the deck.




This one doesn't even angle in

The angle of the transom was causing the u-joints to fail to soon from positive trim. The later ones have a notch at the top of the transom.

Hi, TURBO JET

The original Aronow mold had a 17 degree transom, which proved a bit excessive for the trim rams to handle.
A mold insert reducing it to the industry standard 12 degree was made.
When...? My brain says after hull #11, but I'm not really sure why it says that, so please regard that as an OSO truth only.

Merry Xdim. and a Happy New...etc... :-))
