Bravos are not considered as strong as TRS thats what most people agree on. I personally dont see any point in changing to a bravo its a sideways trade that costs a lot and is a lot of work.
Of course there are reasons people like the bravo's... they are easier to work on if you ask me because if you blow a tranny with TRS the motor has to come out. Bravos will gain you some speed from what i hear and also there will be no power lost because of the transmission not being 100% efficient.
Changing to bravo would be a good idea if you are updating your whole boat.. example if you put a new transom in then you should go ahead and do it because the TRS is outdated and while its not hard to get parts now in 10 years it probably will be.

I would not say that Bravo's are stronger. Especially on an older hull that is heavy. I don't think you would see considerable changes in speed. You are also talking about a big project. Transom, engine movement. Not to mention how are the ride characteristics going to change in the boat. That boat was designed to have the weight and balance of the transmissions in the back. You can still pick up spare TRS's pretty cheep and unless you have 600+ HP they are pretty much bullet proof. Plus they shift so much nicer then bravo's. I am sure others will chime in, but a 1000 threads on this same topic exist. Good luck
