Default Trade or sell SSM IIs for TRS drives

Just throwing this out there, but I'm looking to sell my SSM IIs with props or trade them for someone elses TRS drives. My drives are in good condition. The props are 15x23 3 blades.

Prop costs. I put Comp Cams Turbo cams in this year and I am out of my RPM bang now with the old props. The old props had been labbed before and the local prop shop wont touch them, Says they are too thin. Also I want to put 4 blade props on to get a better hole shot. Right now my hole shot is virtually none existent and my minimum cruise speed on plane is about 40 mph. To get the boat on plane is a bi*ch. I want to use the boat, not drag race it. The drives work very well but I highly doubt that Wellcraft set up the X dimension on SSM II boat any different than TRS boats

Plus I'd rather sell the drives in good working condition, rather than blow one, and be up $hits creek because parts are not available for it.

Also switching to TRS vs SSM II will raise my X dim 2 inches which will really help the boat out on top end too.

SSMII is 1" longer than the TRS (input shaft to prop shaft) Your prop shaft height will be raised 1" when swapping to the TRS.
