Chick wants to know!!!

My husband and I JUST bought a Baja Outlaw. It's a teeny boat-only 20 ftr but, I wanna know how I can make this thaang faster! (Already!) ;o) It has a 350 mag and I'm wantin to bust it up to whatever maximum I can get out of this sob. Granted, the gas prices are insane-but, I'm just lookin for an adrenaline rush. ) Whatever I can get-I'll take. I know that I can do somethin with the prop but, I know more about cars than I do boats, so any bit of help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

should be a quick boat as it is! but i guess i would start with intake and exhaust, maybe a cam or something? although it might not be worth it to throw a bunch of money into something you are never going to be happy with.


what the heck, throw a 200 shot on and see what happens!

Clays right...you got about enough engine for that boat....i just sold my 22 with a 454 definitely got loose at high speed...67 on GPS but 55 was plenty with that hull..I just moved up to a 24 pantera for that reason...on rough day speed is going to be the last thing on your mind with a small hull. Have fun then get a bigger safer boat for speed.

You can sink a ton of money making any boat faster.....typically the money is better spent buying a faster boat. (meaning it takes less money to sell yours and buy a 10 mph faster boat then it takes to make your existing boat 10 mph faster). The rule of thumb is $1,000 for every addl. mph.....and the expression "how fast can you AFFORD to go" is common around here.


BTW: I like the screen name...but should it be spaced differently?

That's kind of along the same lines as what I was thinking. I must say-you are a lot nicer than cornhole with the comment about Viagra. Assuming-he has a problem with ED!?!?! But, that's just me!?!?! But, I absolutely DO appreciate your help with that. Any other comments are GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks for your help!!! You're wonderful!

Oh, I'm sorry. I though you wanted a fast and safe boat. My bad.

The best way to go fast, as in too fast, is to add boost. Go to www.whipplesuperchargers.com. They have a supercharger for your 350 engine. You will go so fast, that your boat will chine walk.

Good luck!
