Konrad 540 HP
 
Been looking but can't find any Konrad 450s or the 540 hp used any place. Are there just not many out there? I want keep my transmissions but would like a better driver than a TRS.

there rare to find, been looking for a friend of mine for two + yrs.........he'd like to have SSM 4's or 5's but doesn't want to cut the transom.

People who buy konrad rarely part with them. They are committed long term to their TRS boat and are ok with the performance they get from the boat. Not looking for every mph they can squeeze out of it. I guess the fact they all keep them is good advertising. What about the guy building shorty bravo lowers for TRS uppers? SlowRyd.

Twin gen 1 alphas both turn props the same way. My 27 nova, I never noticed any difference.

only fix was a reverse rotating motor. will pass on that lol. may just have to save up for new ones. I am ok with the performance and committed to the boat for sure. also like the smoothness with the trans.

11,995 for the 540 and 500 extra for the Hp lower and steering bracket per drive for new ones.

And I am not sure that would work. The trans is obviously fine with it, but has anybody ever run a TRS upper backward? And TRS has an oil pump. Don't know, yet how it works or where it is, but I betcha it has to turn the correct way.

Yeah that i don't know. At 13,000 for all the bells and whistles a drive I'll keep trying to find a doner boat.

Cannot spin TRS upper backwards or the trans.... hence the issue....
