I think if you ask around in the Cig forums you will find that the Top Guns with the TRS set up run with a lot less porposing then the ones with Bravos. Moving the engines 18 or so inches forward is a HUGE deal. We are talking about 1000 pounds in the motor. Take 5 of your friends and have them stand close together then have them move 18" forward and you will see a large difference in the way the boat sits in the water.

The same has been said about my boat. I have never rode in a Bravo 311. one of the reasons i went to crossovers is if i ever had to change a water pump on my motors you would have to pull the motor to do it Hell the crossover hits the trim pump when i put the motors in last year.

Really? when my buddy sold his TRS 311 we took off the crossovers and put pumps back on, no problem! we even changed cams once without pulling engines... thatw as fun!

Ahh remember i have the Twin Disc MG502 tranny i think it is about 8-9 inches longer than a TRS tranny
