It's baaaaack: http://allaboutboatsozarks.com/listi...nv=87&tag=used

Nice looking. Wish there were more pictures. Are you familiar with it? How is the interior?

Nope, not familiar with it. Just sharing for those interested. I haven't seen the interior.

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?

A friend went by and checked out this Hawk. He said the HIN showed it was an '82 but it has no notch in the transom. Does that make sense?

Alright, I did my research and I believe it was an option that year. Makes sense. Might not be a bad deal.

my 83 Hawk came with speedmaster 3s

How many drive options did they have?

The only drive options I recall Merc. TRS and the Speedmaster # 3

I'm not too familiar with the #3's. How do they compare?

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.
