I have 280s on my 27 Formula and I would say they are a little large. You breath on the tab switch and can just about roll the boat on its side. I would probably go with 150s if I were to do it again. Jeff Wurl

well, i got a good deal on them and i dont even have tabs at all. sooo i was wondering if anyone has installed them on a 24 outlaw and where they had them placed. i am running in the low 70s and on smooth watere she can chine hard. also planing can be a little tough sometimes. i will be taking the project on this winter. alsi i will be putting on external steering.

Currently boat is in shop and appearently they are unsure what is wrong with it and having Merc go over the scan.
I keep it in the valley so when I get it back we can meet up and you check them out.
