Are you sure about that? I've never seen or heard of one, but, knowing you have the inside track to CB, so if you say so, it must be so

So then would a Cafe be just as fast over 80 with an extension box? as a TG without

That's my point. If the longer boat has the same beam then the ratio is better on the longer boat for both speed and wave piercing. If you narrowed out the cafe and left the weight the same, the Cafe would likely be faster-all other things equal. Wider= slower.

No, I'm not 100% sure. I just remember someone (I think Craig) told me that once. I'll ask him next time I talk to him.

G, it's good to see you pop up more recently around these parts. You going to make it to Havasu?
