Re: 25 O/L with 600-650 hp
It is neither yet. He is purchasing parts now, it will be a 540 cu with the best parts $$ can buy. He wants to keep the reliability high, compression low and doesn't want something that can't idle through the harbour. He would like to see 80mph as well...

most stock 25 OL come with 24`Bravo 1 Props
If you want to get 70 MPH just below the rev limiter at 5100 RPM - this would result into a Prop slip of just 6 % - possible ??

???? The 24 Bravo is probably the worst prop you can use on a 25 Outlaw... To much stern lift witch is really bad for that hull
My labed 23 mirage plus is now more likely a 24", add one inch for the cup = +/- 25". With 1.5 gear ratio will run right at 70 mph with +/- 10-13 % slip.

If you have owned a 25 Outlaw I take back my comments. I have never owned an "open bow" 28' (including swim platform) Sunsation, so you will never hear me comment on the speed, performance, etc. that it lacks.

Because either you're boat is some 500-700 lbs lighter than other 25 OL's or your engine is really a 500hp.

You shouldn't be surprised to see someone disagree with you and/or ask for proof...as in pictures or video. Hard to believe your old boat ran 7mph faster with a labbed prop and minor exhaust mods. Are you sure you're not talking speedo numbers???

Possibly Baja Marine would rather list the low number and have boats be faster than advertise the high number and have complaints up the azz. Can only speak from my experience.
