Default Top Gun Engine Location?

Engine locations in Top Guns?
Is a TRS boats engines higher and more forward?
The distance between transom and the firewall- Are they the same between TRS boat and other?
I am assuming the firewall is even further forward on stagard engine setup? Distances?
Thanks again

I don't know the exact measurements, but TRS boats do have their engines set further up to accomodate for the trannys. They were originally designed to run TRS drives. That's why some bravo Guns porpose.

Brandon you are right, however, there is more to it than that. Some guns built with Bravos porpoise.

Yes the ones built on the TRS CG with bravos are the ones that porpose. They later changed the CG to fix the problem.

Another question:
The CG (center of gravity). Where is the CG on the boat? Where is it in relation with the cockpit? Is there a book with all this cool stuff in it?
