I can see why it wouldnt make any sense to you, considering your information is incorrect.

I can tell that the back of the boat does not sink as far and the bow does not raise as far when I give the boat throttle from an idle. I put the drives at neutral and the tabs all the way up and it seemed easier to get on plane. I could also stay on plane down to about 23 mph. The bow of the boat does seem to wander more at speed even though I have the drives trimmed up. I can see a definite difference too when at speed, that the bow sits lower.

i knew it would help..now you can mess with the toe a little bit to try and fix the wandering..4 blades will make it even better..also try to keep the engines out of boost or to a minimum,all that will do is blow the props out...pick a rpm and stick with it,,try to get the boat on plane and off plane a few times and see what the boat likes..example i will ease mine to 3000 rpms and once i start to feel the bow starting to drop i will bump it to 3400 and leave it their then trim up then back dowm on the throttles..i rarely use the taps..i set them once to the conditions and leave them alone..

if you need your peop fixed you can call dahpropeller.com ask for john,,he does all of my work and is really really really good..he can most likely make your props bite the water beter..

What is the difference ion the two aside from the age? Is the cast the same. Thanks - PS - I have a set of TRS drives and they feel like silk when I spin them by hand - make an offer please if anyone is looking for a set - Not sure if I have the balls to trade for SSM

The TR lower is longer then the TRS, not meet for performance made for cruiser style boats
