Default Replaced TRS with Konrad 540's

Had new Konrad 540's installed last week on my '89 35 Cafe Racer. After alot of investigation.......thought this was the best way to go. This boat is a keeper and I hope to get many years of enjoyment without worrying about the drives. I had the trannys rebuilt at same time. Wish me luck. I will test them
out this weekend.

About the house.........

Sorry the house you wanted sold.......but a couple of houses down from that house is one for sale. This one is a fairly new rebulid. Looks great. Think it is priced in the 700's though.

About the Konrads...............

There is a shop in Edgewater...MDG Performance located at Londontown Marina, ask for Dave. They did a first class job. They really know their stuff, and I spent alot of time trying to locate a really good shop.

They have tons of experience with performance boats. I really want to thank them again for a great job. I would highly recommend their work. If anyone in the Maryland area needs
some work on their boats........give them a call at 410-956-5381. I'm going to use them again for sure.

You have a great setup now. The Konrads are tough, and the factory people really support the product.

We just met Dave at MDG on Wednesday. We're in Annapolis for a conference right now and we stopped by to say hi and go for a ride in his Superboat. He has a really nice shop and tons of great performance boats around. He's a top notch guy as well. Anybody would do well to have Dave work on their stuff!

I have to agree with all the others. Konrad 540's are the best replacement for TRS. They make the swap a breeze compared to other drives that require more work and setup. Keep us all informed about the performance and reliability of the Konrad 540's. Looks Great

You will love the Konrads. No more worrys about blowing drives. Follow the break in procedures recommended by Konrad and you will have no problems.
What HP are you running through them?
