What is this boat worth?
95 31ss 502's and blackhawks.
Are the blackhawks a faster drive? and what is the price difference between them and bravos? What about parts availability for the blackhawks?

Hi Mark, those drives were discontinued after only 1 or 2 years from merc. They were suposed to be the greatest thing but uctualy realy FLOPPED !! They are very slow ! They have cavitation problems at higher speeds . 2 props on each drive turn oposite directions . They work pretty good on slower speed , heavy cruisers but not ment for a GO FAST !!
As far as price , parts and /or swapping out for bravos , I don't know . JOE

The Blackhawks have some positives. They run best as a surface piercing drive, with a high X dim. Because of the limited run, Prop availibity is very slim, and if you can find them, youll be paying $$$ for them, so forget about any serious prop tuning. They need to have a hull with some rocker to create bow lift. Im not that familiar with a sonic hull, but it doesnt look like a big rocker hull. Yeah, it sounds like you'd have to add the price of a couple of Bravos to the price of this one.

I may be wrong, but I think I remember seeing that the Bravo's will bolt up to the Blackhawk transom assembly- If thats the case you could probably break even on the swap.

I don't have any Blackhawk experience, but that boat has been for sale for a long time...a really long time. I would imagine that you could get it cheap. The 31 Sonic is a great boat.
