BlackBird Boats Models

Designer's comments:

The BlackBird 22 was designed to be a very useful boat, not just something to look at. You will be very reluctant to hide it away. I commend BlackBird on their investment in the tooling, machinery and, most of all, the craftsmanship to produce a fine quality, low maintenance boat at an affordable price.

BlackBird 22: Engine BlackBird 22: Engine
Our boats come with Crusader power. We chose Crusader because of their industry wide reputation as the largest supplier of gasoline powered marine engines in the world.

The engine we use is a GM vortec V8, the same one that powers the legendary Corvette. Not only is this engine smooth and powerful, it is the most economical engine we tested. The transmission is a Hirth-ZF unit with a 1.3 to 1 gear reduction, providing 500 lb.ft. of torque at the propeller. At 375HP this motor has propelled one of our prototypes to over 60 mph.
