Hi all,
My first post here. Did a search on TRS and came back w/ 18 hits. Seems more of you have this drive than I thought. I have some experiance w/ the Alpha drive and Volvo Penta drive. Had never heard of TRS until now.
I'm looking at a 1980 Tahiti Daycruiser. It has a 454 and Merc TRS drive. Seller says the outdrive has been "gone thru". What do I need to know? Do I want a boat with this type of drive? I not opposed to swapping out for a new motor and outdrive, but I understand the TRS setup includes a transmission inside the engine compartment, which obviously places the motor further towards the bow. Thus, the motor mounts are further forward too... thus making it impossible to upgrade to a late model motor and Bravo drive (for example).
Can you guys please school me on this whole thing?
Thanks,
Jeff
