- - Replaced TRS with Konrad 540's (https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/cigarette/167033-replaced-trs-konrad-540s.html)

I found an awsome shop in Arnold Maryland to work on boats. You will not fing a man that is as fare and knows what he is doing that Art Lilly.

switching to Konrad solve one part of the older TRS for sure Drive speaking... But, I though the rest (transom plate, gimbal, transom bearing and all related parts besides the drives) were discontinued, thus making repairs / maintenance tougher finding parts??? Can we still get all those parts easily?

You can buy the replacement 2 ways. one is just replace the the helmut and the other is the whole transom assembly. Which is what i did and it looks like Ex did also.
It is an easy switch out. I did mine in one day.

Sorry the house you wanted sold.......but a couple of houses down from that house is one for sale. This one is a fairly new rebulid. Looks great. Think it is priced in the 700's though.

About the Konrads...............

There is a shop in Edgewater...MDG Performance located at Londontown Marina, ask for Dave. They did a first class job. They really know their stuff, and I spent alot of time trying to locate a really good shop.

They have tons of experience with performance boats. I really want to thank them again for a great job. I would highly recommend their work. If anyone in the Maryland area needs
some work on their boats........give them a call at 410-956-5381. I'm going to use them again for sure.

I saw that house, I'm going to keep looking, with the market the way it is it's all in my favor.I'm thinking late fall and winter prices will be perfect and people ready to move them. I have heard nothing but great things about Dave at MDG, classy operation. My offer still stands if you need someone to help you move it around, just call me...I'll be out later today running around in the Tiger, let me know if you'll be out.

nice job. im sure you are making stecz proud.

Looks great! Any performance gains with the Konrads.

I know I dont have a superboat but an old excalibur but maybe you guys can help me out. i have been restoring this boat for the past 4 years. I was going to change over to a bravo I from the alpha i have now this year but the crankshaft in my 350 broke and i had to build a new motor so i didnt have the money to update the drive this year. I built the motor i was going to run with the the bravo(383 525 hp) knowing the alpha wouldnt hold up long but i didnt think it would eat it up in 3 weekends. I was wrong. could someone point me in the right direction on how to set up the boat for the new power? what bravo drive can i get away with. standard / or xz , xr? I have been told a stock bravo should do just fine. Also i would like to know what x dimension for the best speed. What trim tabs should i use. Any help would be great.

79ex- a XR will be fine. The XZ is a good drive but it isnt made anymore.

EX27-Congrats on the Konrads!!!!!!!!! We are a dealer and I really like their product.

how fast do you guys think my excalibur will run? It should be around 515 to 525 hp at 6300 rpm. Any idea on what the boat weight is and what prop i should run at least start with. I have a 21 23 and 25 cleavers also 23 and 25 mirage and 19p quicksilver. I need to get rid of some props i think but you never know what will work for your boat.

They look BadA$$ eX27 :cool: Great move with a keeper boat like that. Friend of mine just did 540s in his 84 Mistress this past winter and doesn't regret it a minute or a penny ... loves the performance, and security or peace of mind. He tells me each and every time out it 'pays' dividends :)

He did new gimbles whole transom assembly option ...
