What is this boat worth?
95 31ss 502's and blackhawks.
Are the blackhawks a faster drive? and what is the price difference between them and bravos? What about parts availability for the blackhawks? CLICK HERE http://www.bullockmarine.com/boat_li...ic_31_ss_1.jpg |
Hi Mark, those drives were discontinued after only 1 or 2 years from merc. They were suposed to be the greatest thing but uctualy realy FLOPPED !! They are very slow ! They have cavitation problems at higher speeds . 2 props on each drive turn oposite directions . They work pretty good on slower speed , heavy cruisers but not ment for a GO FAST !!
As far as price , parts and /or swapping out for bravos , I don't know . JOE |
If you buy it ,plan on replacing with Bravo 1's. But you can easily sell the Blackhawks to some of the Classic Donzi guys.

thanks joe.
also....has anyone ever dealt with Bruce Bullock Marine? Or live in the area who could give me a real opinion on this boat? The pictures on the website are terrible, and they said that they were the only pictures they have. |
The Blackhawks have some positives. They run best as a surface piercing drive, with a high X dim. Because of the limited run, Prop availibity is very slim, and if you can find them, youll be paying $$$ for them, so forget about any serious prop tuning. They need to have a hull with some rocker to create bow lift. Im not that familiar with a sonic hull, but it doesnt look like a big rocker hull. Yeah, it sounds like you'd have to add the price of a couple of Bravos to the price of this one.

Does anyone know of this boat? Or ran a similar style hull with a set of blackhawks?
|
I may be wrong, but I think I remember seeing that the Bravo's will bolt up to the Blackhawk transom assembly- If thats the case you could probably break even on the swap.
|
You really want to go to Texas don't Ya! Did you ever look at some of those rebuilt fountains out there? There are a few in this months PB mag in the ad section.

I don't have any Blackhawk experience, but that boat has been for sale for a long time...a really long time. I would imagine that you could get it cheap. The 31 Sonic is a great boat.:)
