Dan,
correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think Gary makes the parts anymore. He may have some stock left but when I contacted him for #5 uppers he had none and was not going to make any.
OP - I’d go 3s over Konrad. I’d go 6s if you’re going to keep the boat. SSM 3-5 parts are hard to find, but they are good drives.

The Imco drives are designed as replacement for Bravo which does not use a transmission. They are great option for Bravo changes, but TRS uses a 72c trans between the engine and drive.

No, Joe is correct, the SCXT drive is for a transmission application........SC and SCX are for a Bravo app

I got my boat with TRS back in 2010 - then I bought a pair of Konrads and mocked them up. I never ran the Konrads, along the way we built up the engines to a point the Konrads wouldn't have held - I found a SSM5 package and rigged the boat with 5s.
I'm sure the Konrads are sweet. I would not have run them over 750-800hp.

My vote is Konrads.
The 3s are basically obsolete.
You can drive to Konrad in Wisconsin and pick up any part you need.

For the internet challenged. Snip from the Imco catalog regarding the SCT NOT the SCX.
