As far as Bmaxes go, there is a 460 out there with 700-800hp and has had very little problems from what I know. His name is Tony Champion http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/b...-bt-owner.html

Saxman, who was building his drives for him? Was it dean or Ron at JR Marine. Ron did my boats drives before I bought it with great success. Just normal maintainace, now, it seems that having Dean do them, I cant keep them together. I have been speaking to Waconda and he has solved his lower problems for the most part by using standard XR housings on bottom with Bmax uppers. I have been getting failures on both and am sending my drives to Ron since he knows the boat better and will actually return phone calls.Whats your opinion?

Just get his boat, save money, forget about motors issues and drive issues, and have trouble free boating

There is a guy on this site, Joe Murray, who has a 1997 43 tall deck with 735hp Eddie Young power and #5 drives. It's got 5 blade mercs worked by Bblades and runs 80mph. Sadly (for him), he is now down to asking 90k for it..... If I were in the market for a boat like this, I would jump all over Joe's boat.

Not rebuilt, they were new ZZ502 crate motors
The engines are not refreshended. They were purchased as new ZZ502 create motors and dyno'd at 725HP. David Wade Marine always serviced and installed the motors. They have about 100 hours on them now without a problem.

Saxman,
I went and looked at Joe Murray's 43 BT, and it was as nice as he said it was. Therefore I HAD to buy it !!!!!! All the final arrangements will be completed tomorrow. Finally I am a VERY PROUD owner of a BT.
