Well haven't planed on it yet was told a well built trs will handle 800hp i want to keep the boat as original as possible very nice job on your boat have you thought about carbon fiber for the main stringers?

The TRS may be stronger than bravo but it has alot of drag from what i have heard you will gain approx 5 mph switching to an updated drive.

That boat was meant to go very fast..(for the time period)
I was out running it on a test one day and a new 28 foot Cigarette with twin 280's came up alongside.......I could see the poor guy didn't know how to trim it right, so I didn't walk away too fast, but I did leave him in the wake, wondering what the heck is in that thing anyway?
Boat looks very nice....you do need a new style banana sticker for it though.
