Thread: TRS Drives on 38 Scarab

    Hey Guys,
    Am looking at an older Welcraft Scarab 38 footer with triples that has been pretty extensively retrofitted. Power now is triple 454-465hp thru Borg Warner Cyborg trans then TRS drives not sure what prop he is spinning, 4 batteries 300 gals fuel, 50 gals water, a/c and frig no generator. How well did these boats run he says cruise at 3500 rpm at 55mph and top out at 85mph. Very nice looking boat for its age and lot of work done but that seems optimistic for what I would guess is a 12,000 lb boat. Any ideas or am I way off guessing weight?
    Thanks,
    rick
    Trans and drives have been rebuilt but what kind of reliabilty should I expect with these drives/trans and a fairly heavy boat?

    If the maintenance has been done religously they should be reliable with normally aspirated engines. Keep in mind that many of the parts for TRS drive are NLA from Mercruiser.
    3500 and 55 mph seems pretty optimistic.
