I see on Google it takes about seven hours to get from Yarmouth to the Cabot Trail area. Then Im guessing the 182 miles of the trail its self is a three hour run ?

You might conceivable make it around the Cabot Trail in three hours, but more likely, you are going to be standing on the brakes about every mile or so, getting out of the car and saying, "Oh my God, look at that!" and forgetting to take pictures.
(Your experience may vary) I haven't been over the trail since the 60s, but keep thinking I will re-visit one day.
Things to see: Firefighters Museum in Yarmouth, the Acadian Village in West Pubnico, Port Royal Habitation and Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal, The Tidal Power plant in Annapolis Royal, Wineries in the Annapolis Valley, Tidal Bore and the world's highest tides in the Minas Basin, The Citadel in Halifax, HMCS Sackville (last WWII corvette), Sherbrook Village, Louisburg, a re-creation of what was once the largest fortified town in North America. Keltic colors (music), Acadian Soirees, live music here and there
Give us a few weeks, you might see enough.
Best
