I ran them in the 90's on a single 22 Donzi Black Widow and a P29 Scarab. Very fast and light on the steering. The P29's had a hard time keeping them together running them to the max like they where intended to be run. The single engine applications under twenty five feet seem to keep it together a little longer. I never ran them in the rough stuff but they sure where fun to run in the flat.

Phil Lip-Ship sure likes them. He may have good insight on the Demand. If you can make them live, Then You can bring Sexy Back :)

25' cat on calm inland water would probably be a decent platform. are they less reliable than bravo1 s

If you could build a more reliable version at a reasonable cost I think there is a market. I would be interested in a pair...RB

Why do you believe they are a horribly handling drive? :whistle:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]521377[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]521378[/ATTACH]Scarab P-29 has it's own Facebook page, go there. Some of the P-29s have gone to bravos because they can't find Blackhawk drives. I'm scared to death if I might lose one. I would be nice to have a back up.

They work best on a rocker hull..that being said i like the idea of a single prop bersion,,would also be nuce if someone were to legnthen then 2'' so you dont have to set the motor so low in the hull..like a standard +1 +2 +3 would be cool..

I dont know much about the blackhawk ...well actually I dont know anything whats the history and specs on them? are they the predecessor to the 6?

I love my Blackhawks. Yes they are a bit of a pain at slow speeds but, after getting on plane they are great. I would love more options for my setup.
