Thanks. I'm still having trouble with the uploading of pics but I will figure it out. Both of my sea strainer plastic tube were cracked I ordered some 4.5" OD x 6" acrylic tube online for $7. Each the replacement parts were $95. Each so do you think it will work? I don't mind spending money on something that deserves it but this just seemed unreasonable.

It is easier to upload pics with the Enhanced Attachment Uploading OFF.
Go to your Settings-My Account-General Settings and turn it off.
To post multiple pics(up to 10), use the Go Advanced box at the lower left of the Quick Reply.
Then click Manage Attachments. Then Choose File and upload any pic from your computer.

that is a real beauty ! congratulations.

I have an 82 Hawk 40 and spent a lot of money trying to get her back going again.

I have no idea why that picture posted sideways. Sorry

Great looking 40!

Here is some inspiration to get it going.

I know the subject about kevlar has been beaten to death but did wellcraft ever make the hawk in kevlar? I thought they were all glass? Mine appears to be kevlar lower hull with a glass upper? What kind of speed should I be hoping for? I should have around 500hp at the cranks and I have trs drives with so 20 x 15 four blade props my title says 8000lbs

Sorry SS props. For the record I'm not an idiot but my phone makes me type like one so please forgive the mis spelling and grammar. Also you all have beautiful boats I'm just hoping to have one that floats haha

[ATTACH=CONFIG]550504[/ATTACH] this was the boat 5 years ago I have never seen paint fade so bad. They used house of kolor.

Real 500 HP will probably push it 65 on the best day. It may like some newer bravo style props vs. the clevers.
