Hey Buddy couple questions for you! Did you use the same plug in trans with your #6 as you did with Konrads? I have 1450 11 clutch trans now... Will those work if I switch to #6?
Also how much higher do you think my engines will move? I have SSM 3A (Konrad PRS III Conversion) any ideas??

The transmissions are the same, however the tail stocks must change To #6 plug in or close couple. They are very expensive so shop wisely. About 6 k each. The gimbal / transom assembles must be close couple also. Drive lines style will not work in a Top Gun. The engines will only move about 2 inches up, but because the 6 is so short, the entire transom must be replaced, or layer filled and made into a blank slate. It's all in the thread . I would only use a Dry Sump 6, because it is a lot of work and expense. Don't forget the new tailpipes, and finding the right props at 10 k per set is a pain in the a$$ I still am looking for 17.75 x 33 x 18 rake, 5 blades.
Did you come to crystal river? I was away last weekend but MRPs staggered Top Gun was on the river.

Thanks for the info! These Konrads are actually working pretty good right now! Just want to start researching this stuff before I change them. We put in at New Port Richie by Joe and ran around there.

lol I'm actually having a debate with Joe @ Fast Forward about what drives will be cheaper to switch too... Arneson or #6. I like the Arneson and Joe wants me to put 6's on. We are gathering info and will decide what direction we will go with the boat after we look at all the costs involved!!
