Finally got to test a little. Gained 6mph and after we get new props worked should be over 10mph increase!!!! 650 hp motors with TRS drives in the low 70mph range!! Cruise at 50 like a Cadillac, so I am happy 😊

Well we busted the first trs lol
It already had an issue as it would build heat and push fluid out. Built some drive showers and slapped another one on! Let’s see if we can keep it alive. If not I have a set of 540 konrads
