Default Hierarchal of Drives

Since I joined recently I've been noticing certain drives are limited in handling in HP. Is there a hierarchy of drives relating to performance?

thanx

If the TRS drive is stronger than the Bravo XR - Why did they stop using it?

Going from the TRS to the Bravo you lose about 250 lbs, (smaller transom plate and no tranny) and the engine is about 18" further back towards the transom.

The Bravo was cheaper to build (no transmission) and weaker therefore they have built in reaccuring revenue. It's there marketing department runnnig there engineering department. LOL

Konrad should be right after NXT Drive

I am new here too. I've been running a 7.4 Merc - Bravo 1 - 230 PQ, and am looking to go to a bigger boat. Where do the Volvo's fall in to the above list. In particular the 415 DPX. It has the dual Props. Like the Bravo 3's, Which I don't see in the list either. Are they Tabu? HP hogs or something?
