The Blackhawk works pretty good on most small boat instalations but it does need to be set up properly. They need a prettyhigh X dimension, i was told the bullet should be 1.5 inches out of the water. They also work best on hulls that have a bunch of rocker.

Think of a BH as a 5 inch shortie. If the prop shaft centerline is 1 to 2 inches above the bottom of the boat, your height is right.
The hull need a natural bow lift running attitude as well.

If you descide to go down that rode, I have a complete package listed in swap.
