50 Superhawk

[seadog69]

New to the Forum.
I am looking at a 50 Superhawk with Tri-max Drives and triple 420 yanmars. It is a crossover for me since I previously had the "go-fast boats" with the large blower motors.

Is there any issues with them or the ZF tranmissions ? What speed can I expect ?

I appreciate you assistance.

Hiya
Dont know wbout the trimax drives, sorry but I do have the ZF transmissions in mine have never been a problem

Some of the two-speed ZF gearboxes had some reliability issues, but suspect that with tripple's you won't have two-speed boxes fitted... Straight forward gearboxes... Trimax' do not bite well in reverse if it has radical cleaver's on (compared with shafts that is), so expect a lot of foam and limited action when trying to hold her back..

I had a Sunseeker XS with the same Tri-max engines and 2 speed gearbox set up, only two engines in the XS, no probs with them.
Tri-max drives are fab, even in reverse, Yanmar 420 is good, and the two speed ZF gearbox is works well, it is a great 50+knot boat, but you do have 3 engines to look after.

Goinglean on Boatmad.com has one, or is it his?
