I don't think it's pushing that hp, though. Top speed is said by previous owner to be about 68. That math doesn't quite add up.
Plus, with TRS drives, 750hp would be destroying 'em, don't ya think?

Big item's on the drives. TRS Drive good for around 425 H.P. to maybe 650 H.P. if you baby it. Boat weight and prop pitch big factor on the life of drive. The Speedmaster # 3, had lower skeg shorter and sweptback with bullet nose, bigger shafts, and bearings. Much stronger and streamlined, I think they rated them at 750 H.P. List price new as a option on Hawk was around $ 8,000.00 to $ 10,000.00 or so over standard TRS Drive. The trick option I think was Kevlar Hull for $ 8,200.00, think they built 5 to 10 boats that way have never seen a used one surface. TxHawk has a trick Hawk and a bunch of Hawk 40's around his area.
