Can anyone put me onto where to buy TRS parts or a number 3 drive

Which drive would be faster the number 3 or a bravo?

Somebody........Would you buy a boat with these drives on it or would that not be good? Should these drives be replaced?

I am guessing the Bravo boat will be slightly faster. Number Three is a bigger heavier drive, requires a transmission that all suck up HP. Why would anyone take a #3 Drive off a boat unless replacing with a #4 #5 or #6? It is a great drive and can take a lot of power. I would have a #3 boat over a Bravo boat anytime. #4,5,6 are more surfacing style drives and will allow more power and higher X dimensions.

Bravo faster to the drive shop. Depends on the power,bravos with equal power but dont like over 600 and rough seas.
Buying a #3 boat wouldn't bother me if the price was right and how many hrs on the drive since a rebuild.

I think you have 3's and then came the heavier 3a's , basically shorter versions of the early 4's and later 5's . I have owned 3's and now have 4's , have had very good luck with mine .
