Trs was used till 94, most Formulas after 88 or so have Bravo, but maybe they ordered that one with TRS, sure it is TRS?

Verify the last digits of the Hull ID, this will be the year. I don't believe Formula was still installing the TRS's in 92'. My 91' 292 was built with Bravo's, and if you check Formaula's website and look at the 92 brochure in PDF form, I believe it will list the Bravo's.

I like everyone else have my doubts on this one, my 89 272 SR! came with bravo I drives, and if I'm not mistaken, behind big blocks 87 was the last year that used TRS drives unless they still used them behind the old original 420's, but along about then the 420's were done away with and they came out with the first generation 500 hp's which I know for a fact came with Bravos.

My friends 88 311 with 330 had TRS.

I am betting that if it is a newer boat with TRS and it was not somehow ordered that way, it was rerigged in the past by someone who wanted TRS, it would not be unheard of..
