I like a race canopy on a boat that will run that fast. Those Buzzi Trimax drives are bulletproof and much lighter than Arnesons and BPMs.

How would you know the weight of either?

Arneson and BPM make the Trimax look like a toothpick so I just assumed it would be lighter. Tommy Bahama was the fastest Supercat in the fleet(when it ran) and it had Trimax drives.

No disrespect to Arneson or BPM. Great drives too I would put either one on my boat.

Weigh a 6' long shaft, a stainless steel stuffing box, and a stainless steel shaft strut and it will exceed 140 lbs, then throw in a gear'd drop box inside the boat and 140lbs is gone by far.
