Blackhawk parts?
Ok, I have some questions about the Blackhawk drives.
1) Do they use Bravo 1 and Bravo 3 internals?
2) If they use Bravo parts...then in theory I'd just need to find a good case, right?
3) Where in the world can I get props? I heard you can make them from Bravo 3 props; but a couple prop shops told me no.
4) Does anyone know what the X dimension is on them?
Thanks!

A thing to consider. One reason why the blackhawk drive was discontiued after only one year, is because it did not work on alot of boat designs. Most boats that where fitted with them, where built for the BH drive. Props for the BH are scarce and have not been made for years, and you can't make BH props form B3 props. If you are thnking about a BH, why not just go with an imco -2 shorty on a B1, and install it with a high x-dim like 19½-20"? Then you would be surfacing the prop. Just a thought.

I will keep you up to date - I don't expect to begin this until October at the earliest. Just can't stomach downing a perfectly good boat when the weather is still good.
