Default TRS vs Bravo 1

Does anyone know the "X" dimension conversion for the TRS drive is ? I know what the Bravo 1 is and want to do a comparison. Thanks

I have a Trs on a 22 Donzi. I can tell you that people in China duck when I motor by.

I have it backed in against my garage wall that I cut out, but I might be able to measure the bottom of the hull up to the outer transom assembly if that will help. Can't help you with the Bravo. My other two performance boats have a surface drive, and an Alpha drive.

I have all measurements for the Bravo 1 but what I would like to know is bottom of boat to centerline of driveshaft thru the transom assembly on the upper gearcase and where the cavitation plate is relative to the bottom of the boat (distance above or below). I am also guessing yoy "V" bottom is rounded over. Thanks

A picture of the bottom. I can measure inside the engine compartment. I'd have to guess where the center of the shaft is, or again, the measurement to the bottom of the inside transom assembly.

Nice looking Hornet by the way.

I can tell you that on my formula my drive shaft is 1 foot below the bottom of the boat. My caviation plate is even with the bottom. I am not sure what the centerline to centerline is on them....

I think a TRS drive measurement from cavitation plate to the centerline of the input shaft in the upper gear case will tell me what I want to know?

Why go from a good drive to a Bravo? If you're going to convert you should consider the Konrad. The TRS to Konrad conersion can be done in HOURS and requires no re-rigging.

Konrads are great but big $$$. If you can do the Bravo conversion yourself its cheaper.
