1997 Konrad introduced the 520 for the diesel stern drive market of 180-370hp range. Four years later (2001) Konrad introduced the 540 in two versions, one for high performance work and the other for recreational use. I cannot state how many 540's are out there but after 3 yrs, I suspect several at the least. They seem to have a better mousetrap and thanks to BIG we all will get some reliable feedback and not that of a backyard Miami u-fix-it shop.

How do the Konrads compare to the B-Max drives? If anyone has info on both as a comparison it would be helpful.
I currently have Bravo1's on my Powerplay and in the future I know I will want to beef up the HP500's with some more power, so I will need to upgrade the drives without going to # 3's+ and having to add trannys.

Dont forget having to shift the motors forward to allow for trannys.

What's up dude, long time no see! I do have room in the engine compartment to move the engines, I just don't want to spend the money to do all that.

Kurt,
Please be sure to post some comparisons once you get the drive testing done. I spoke with Ken at Konrad Marine and they are excited to test your current set up and the set up after the Konrad drives are installed.
If everything goes well, I will be seriously looking at a set for replacing my current TRS confirguration.

Had a customer in our shop with an Eliminator looking to swap from the TRS Drives. I told him about these - This is definately better than re-glassing the transom.
Interested in your findings here.
