I've never heard about them robbing any hp. But suppose to run 5-7mph faster than TRS with just swap? Some things to watch for. Depending If your transom is painted or not, if they painted around the TRS gimbal you will need to re shoot the transom because the konrad gimbal is about 1/4" smaller. Also, need to shorten tie bar. And swap the manifolds on the trim lines to use your std trim lines. The konrad manifold used a bigger threaded fitting. I should be testing my customers Konrads hopefully this weeken

The transom plate is slightly smaller. I was able to use a nice bead of black caulk around mine and you can't see the the paint line

My old Top Gun, (now owned by OSO member I'CE) was the very first performance boat to be converted to Konrad's, It was done March 2004. Well over 500 hrs, zero issues and he's still running the same drives. -Never been apart.
