i am running 370,s 454.trs drives.not sure of the speed,previous owner said 72.bought as a project.one of the motors spent.i am going to do 496,s with victor jr/850 holy.good luck.post some pics.i think i am turning my props out.

On mine, I am running the props turning out.

If your redoing all the power and drives is there a reason you're going with TRS drives and not just using bravo's of some variation? If the transom is already drilled etc for it that would make some sense but to me it would still be worth updating.

Just curious.

The drives are already on the boat, and were rebuilt by speedmaster 80 hrs ago,and the trannies were rebuilt not much before that. I may update in the future, but dont want to shell out another 20k just to update the drives to gain a few mph, I don't have a problem running the older stuff as for it was well cared for from the previous owner and as long as it stays reliable it'll have to do for now.

Id keep the TRS. Nothing wrong with them. Just keep the horsepower around 550-575. After that, i would go to a speedmaster setup and skip the bravos.

Only planning on putting no more than 550hp as of now were taliking 500-525hp. It's been my understanding that TRS is a very reliable drive. I just picked up a spare set just incase.

I have an 86 10 Meter with SSM #3 drives. Engines are 540 CID with approx 650 HP. Best speed to date is 85 MPH (LOTO Shootout radar - handheld GPS had 87 MPH). Running 3 blade props turning out. Going to try some 4 blade props this year.

Spinnin em in. Works fine for me.

I just converted mine frome a #3 speed master to a bravo..Set The drive height at 21 and spin them in. My motors are the 420's with stainless marine exhaust.I was playing around with props but so far I got 75 and that was with full tank of fuel and 5 guys in the boat going to try it this weekend with just me and 1/2 tank I think I should see another 2-3 mph. not bad for stock 454's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So5iWCU4Hok that isa video of me running at a fun run this past weekend I'm the last guy going by... That speed was on the gps ... 26 bravo's at 5200

Excalibur,
What difference did you see going from the speedy's to a Bravo? How much speed did you pick up and did you notice any difference in handling? The most import question was it worth all the work and expense?
