Default TRS or SSM II Speedmaster drives

Have a chance to get a couple of SSM II drives and my 38' boat now has TRS. The SSM's have 1:33 gears and I'm not sure what the TRS' have. Would it be worth changing and what could I expect both Pro and Con?
Thanks!!!!!!!

You're going to go from hard to get parts to impossible to get parts. They'll look sweet though.

The Speedy II is about 2" longer than your TRS. The propshaft will then be too deep.

Also, there are no parts available for the Speemaster II. No gears, propshafts nothing.

You want to increase perfomance, bolt on a pair of Konrad 540's (they are 1.6"shorter than your TRS)

I can take a hint. Think I'll skip them. Ofcourse the Konrads are a ways off. Haven't had TRS troubles yet but since the II's were available thought I'd check in to it.
Thanks Guys!!!
