There are guys out there that would rather have a trs boat over a bravo boat, especially in a larger heavier application.
What's wrong w/ a TRS boat?
There are plenty of parts.
Service is easy.
TRS puts COG a bit more forward.
Smoother shifts.
More durable.
Bravo would be a bit faster.
I think if one were looking for SPEED, they wouldn't be looking at older guns.
But, in the same long breath... i see the 3 in the same light, just not sure about the parts.
And w/ a TRS(or 3), you could always put a konrad on it.

Bottom line is bravo tg's bring more $ and are alot easier to sell. That top gun is probably a 98 and looks well kept and updated. It is worth a heck of a lot more than the older trs boats mentioned. It is priced right in this market. If you pay $60k for an older 420 trs boat in this market your nutz! IMO.
They don't call them bravo butts for nothing.
IMO, buy what you want and enjoy it... It's what this sport is all about.

If you can buy an older TRS boat with GENUINE potential. Not all of them have potential IMO.
You can get them for cheap, and with modern Big Natural power and good trannies, clean interior, they will stay the same value forever. 35-50K. I just don't see them dropping below that.

The only thing I regret is tha lack of room in the engine compartment.Jr.

Still lots of room in my Mistress engine compartment. 540's, Huber Trannies and Konrads. You can hide some bodies in there, depending on what you need. You may find a TRS Top Gun, but the ones I have seen, people are keeping because they are in excellent condition, or they are beat and outdated that run 60. Just less and less nice TRS boats available. People hang on to them because they are reliable.
