I like a race canopy on a boat that will run that fast. Those Buzzi Trimax drives are bulletproof and much lighter than Arnesons and BPMs.
How would you know the weight of either?

Well that sums it up:thankyouthankyou: although the opposite is true.

Arneson and BPM make the Trimax look like a toothpick so I just assumed it would be lighter. Tommy Bahama was the fastest Supercat in the fleet(when it ran) and it had Trimax drives.

No disrespect to Arneson or BPM. Great drives too I would put either one on my boat.

I Loved watching Mr N Slide that boat around turns a 140mph.

Cat, what you have to look at is the package not the legs. The BPM/Arneson (same basic drive ASD8) have the drop box there in plain site. The Trimax needs a drop box also and even if you don't see it there has to be one in order to work and they have a weigh too. BPM states 140 lbs complete.. That is light, very light.

Weigh a 6' long shaft, a stainless steel stuffing box, and a stainless steel shaft strut and it will exceed 140 lbs, then throw in a gear'd drop box inside the boat and 140lbs is gone by far.

What's your weight advantage over the SSM6 drive?
