Nice finds Lenny!

Why did Merc stop making the Blackhawk? Seems a shame to have come that far and quit instead of working out the bugs.

Sigh.

Chili, I do not believe thay have actually stopped making them. Yes, in terms of what we see today and these ones from the past, but I have a hunch they are still playing the surface drive game.

I do not know why they stopped making them, might have been the required Rocker hulls, the need for a bowlifting already ride angle, the one piece gearcase design or the vertical shaft failures.

??? I am sure someone here knows for sure.??? ...not me tho.
