Ocean Hawk with triple 300's
 

Anybody know anything about this boat I'm looking for a nice CC. Is 3 300's too much weight on the bracket?

The 300XS weigh app. 475 # each "HIGH LIFE"

That boat runs great with 2 300s on it, right at 60 or so. I would pull the one off and sell it, run it with 2, great running boat otherwise.

thats really nice...

Believe this boat was at a Davie, florida auction a couple weeks ago..If it is the same boat, which im sure it is...It is in excellent condition..Very nice...Will run right at about 70-72 Mph..Offer a little less than asking price..

CIG #1

I had one with twin 250xs and it ran 63mph. It's got to go faster than 75mph with that power.

Any idea what this boat weighs ? I have a pair of 300X Mercs on a 27' MAGNUM SEDAN, hull weighs 5,600 # run 79 GPS. "HIGH LIFE"

Plenty strong enough...I have seen many ocean hawks with triples..and the 300 optis are niceeeeeeeeeeeee. Very nice package. BUY IT!!!

Twin 300 Verados run perfect no tabs no porpoise, just flat get it. 2014 models in production now. Hull 4 is twin 300 thinking hull 6 or 7 we will try trip 300 Verados. No notes on this and don't think one was ever done. Should run low to mid 70's since we are pulling 64 plus with twins. Full or empty seem to only make 1-2 mph change. This thing is bad a..

Very nice looking boat.

Very nice pic Jay

Nice looking and seems rock solid.

Those 33 Ocean Hawks look like an old Powerplay........they look more like a Powerplay than the new Powerplay!

your link doesn't work it takes me to godaddy

Cool boats, trips to win, one down on a twin is 7-8 mph, one down on trips is 45-50 mph

Old link is down, go to www.boatsdirectusa.com, we are the new owners and building them again. Call with any questions 305-582-2737

Trip 300 will be about three boats from now

GREAT boat, built solid, timeless lines great history.... contact Carl (underpressure). These boats love the rough water

Set up to test the twin boat, number 4, with an extra 900 lbs in back, plus back seat people to simulate as close as I can the triple set up. Boat number 6 or 7 will be the trip 300 Verado, Just want to be sure the way this boat planes and does not porpoise or need tabs will not change.

Next week I will be testing many props, Mirage Plus, Tempest Plus, Rev 4, and the new Bravo FS. May even raise engine a notch.

Nice ride

Tested the boat this morning. 560 lbs concrete on the platform, plus two guys weighing just over 500 lbs so over 1,000 pounds on bracket alone. Then we loaded 240 lbs of concrete under backseat. Me driving, another 280 lbs, with no water in fresh water tank, less than 1/2 tank fuel.

I wanted to bias the weight as far to back as possible to get worst case.

The boat will plane off with only about 3-4" bow lift right now as it is just easing into the throttles, about 16mph. With the added weight it rose about another 6" (about what most normal center consoles do) and then ran like normal. We took it to about 45 and trimmed out to see if it would porpoise and nothing. same at 50, then ran to about 61, same thing nothing.

Came off plane and tried to plane with motors still trimmed out and the bow rose a lot more but still planed off. Pretty cool. At no time did I touch the tabs and never needed them. This boat just does not have any bad habits.

Wind and rain today so there was some chop in the bay and I could not test this set up in rougher water naturally. Next step is the custom bracket and the build. Looks like boat 7 will be the winner Jimmy.

Still planning the prop testing next week to optimize the twin set up.

old thread but any updates on the triple ocean hawk?
