Re: Inboard Diesel Jackshafted Vs. Twins on a Seam
Just a note on the Silverhawk. I live right down the street from the Silverhawk Plant. In fact I supply Silverhawk with all of their T-tops and rails. The 26 isn't a stretched 24, it started out that way but they trashed the idea and started over. The boat will be a 28ft with a new shear line and higher free board to balance it out. Outboards on a bracket will be on the first one. I'm not sure about an I/O version. Look for the 28 at the AC in water show in Sept.
As far as the I/O version of the 24. The 24 with the 383 Mercruiser Stroker motor runs a solid 53mph on the GPS full of fuel and 2 guys. It is the Bravo 3 drive so, the boat has alot of balls. There has been some talk of doing a jack shaft version in the future.
