Drives....
cartman,
It really depends on what you want. I personaly like TRS drives because they are work horses of there day. The boats seem to handle well with them and they are great around the docks. With small blocks you probably wont even have a issue of breaking. If you wanted to you could even find transmissions and have someone do a rebuild and make them eight plate so they last alittle longer and hold more power.Not to mention they shift smooth, no forcing in and out of gear. No towers breaking. Just rebiuld the drives, run a good gear oil in them like the old gear lube from Mercury and put in a good additive like ProBlend and let her eat.
I think you will be very happy with it when all is said and done. Feel free to give me a call or email me if you have any other questions.

Cartman you will be FINE with the TRS drives. If you are going to go Small Blocks you can even run the Merc trans. That is all I have in my big block boat. I will try and get in touch with ya soon.

You'll just need a couple rebuilt trannys, bell housings & coolers, etc. to set it up for the TRS. That costs around $2500.
For Bravos, you'll need to glass/recut the transom, buy gimbals, drives, maybe new steering. Remount the motors, etc. $$$$$$$
Sounds like a lot of cost and work for a less reliable drive.
