Trs upper With a Bravo Lower

I cant see how the effort could be justified. TRS lowers are weaker and slower than bravos. AND they are hard to find without damage-rot. Bravos still avail new. AND OP has to re-design this job to do it to the TRS. He already has had success with the bravo. it looks like somewhat skilled labor and rather a lot of it. if you or anybody is gonna pay him to build you a shortie for your TRS, you cant justify not buying a bravo lower to have him start with.

reversing the rotation. yes, you can reverse the engine rotation and turn the borg pump plate to run with it. can a TRS upper run backwards? and the bearing carrier side gear is the reason the right trs lower is the weak link. they made gen 2 alphas like that basically running them in reverse with reverse shimmed up a little better. they never put over 310 hp in front of them them though. there is a whole lot of twin small block gen 1 alpha boats out there. running both props the same way doesn't feel noticeably different. at least not at the speeds most older twin TRS boats are used to seeing. I don't see how two props turning the same way would be a real deal breaker for most peple.

The gearcase took care of the ill handling issues. The rams made it more stable in the rough water. I wouldn't run a nose cone on a trs lower because of such a low prop shaft depth
