    TRS drive rock solid? Hardly. They had standard 1" propshafts with "zero" impact absorbsion when the propeller struck a submerged object. Partially because it required the use of solid hub propellers, partially because it was a clutchless non-shiftable drive...along with many other 60's design technologies. But you knew that. No comparison whatsoever to a little outboard motor based Alpha drive either.

    The Kid has a nice piece.. Its obviously not for everyone but, for the people with light fast boats with Alpha drives this a good way to add performance without a complete transom redo.

    Apples and Oranges my friend. Are you involved with this Alpha outdrive modification venture? If so, "HOW DOES THE WARRANTY READ?" 10 hours? 10 minutes? 100 hours? 300 hours? 30 days? 1 year?
