single v bottom with #6
What is the smallest single engine v bottom you have seen with a #6 on the back? 27? 28? 30?
It seems that there are quite a few after 32 feet.

Re: single v bottom with #6
I would be very interested in hearing how a small boat handled with a #6 compared to a bravo style out drive.
I have heard of a few guys going with BIG hp 1000-1100hp on small light boats (single vee) but I can't figure out how you would make it last without the big drive on it. The big #6 weighs like 500lbs and consumes hp just to run it.
So, has anyone got this handled?

My boat and Masher's have #6s on the back.The problem isnt so much the HP drain, its the CG of the boat.When you go from the Bravo to the #6 it adds 320 lbs. to the back of the boat.The center of gravity now is much further back than with the Bravo.The handling characteristics might be jeopardized.

Re: single v bottom with #6
there arn't many used Konrads to pick up but there are a few #6
I'm mostly concerned with the weight and how it would effect a single boat around 27-30 weight approx 5800lbs formaly a bravo
