Scott -
I would think that the hulls are very similar to the point that it would be the "80 and over" mark that the TG would get up out of the water and would be more stable - BUT - that longer the boat, the more its effected by cross winds. I was hoping you would have more to say about this -- Who would know the real answer?
Thanks
Greg

Cash Bar,
Yes - The newer ones with stepped are faster, but I should say we are talking the non-stepped vs. the same HP - Maybe Kramer should race his brothers, but I think Kramer has more HP - in his boat. I would think the most common power for the Cafe and TG was HAWK back in the day. Yes the stepped hull will beat a cafe with the same power
