You could upgrade to a borg warner velvet drive. But, it will require new mounting holes for the engine, as the trans is different. Might be worth a call to bam marine and talk to mark. Im not sure what the merc trans can be beefed up to handle. But stock, they don't handle much.

I broke a few TRS lowers in front of a pair of 550 hp 502's in my old Scarab Panther. The uppers were pretty trouble free but the pinions in the lowers were less than desirable. They would last a few years but I did have 2-3 failures over the course of time that I owned the boat.
