I had #2;s on a 33 turbo fountain back in the 80's.Had a lot of trouble with the drives and wasn't making that much power .If you can swing it Konrads are the way to go.The mechanic I use has rigged a bunch of them and no problems yet.The 30 I had was set up at lake x for Velocity with # 3's.They held up pretty good unless I got carried away.Still miss that boat !!!

Andy when Boyd the owner bought the parts block,rods and crankshaft they were set up to be 608" motors, way to much for the 671 blowers he already had. And way to big for the boat so we had Roger at Aires Pistons build a piston that would work in both blocks with a 4" crank. The block deck heights and rods are different from each other also. I think the first cranks were 4 5/8.

Haven't played with my boat in over a year had a fire on another boat that was ten feet from mine scorched the paint and put three 4" blisters on the glass. Still running TRS, still haven't popped a drive, yet.
