Removing the trans will probably change the center of gravity of the boat and could cause the boat to porpoise? I would leave it alone and if you want to upgrade the drives I would go to a speed master 3a setup

lots of work. You will need to remove the belly tanks and move the back seat bulkheads forward. All of the engine room stringers will need to be modified or moved and a new hatch fabbed. Too much work.... enjoy your boat the way it is.

I mentioned the Konrads, but honestly, if you are only pushing 600HP, the TRS if setup correctly should last. I put 90 hours on almost 700 HP without problems. You can usually find some used ones around. The RH drive usually fails becuase of the lower pinion gear, just another route. Should just run the boat and enjoy
