So you dumped a ton of money into the boat by buying it new and then putting a blower motor into it. You want us all to pay for it (one way or another we will) because it's not worth the cash you still owe on it. Just trying to wrap my brain around this one.

I guess you missed the point. If was trying to sell it It would be in the classifieds. The only reason $$ where brought up was to let you know that it wasn't some junkyard fake horsepower number. I was just trying to help someone relate horsepower numbers to speed which i believe is what was was asked. I really don't care what happens to it. I liked my baja, but can do without this mess.. I bought it new because I thought I was going to quit racing. I put the motor in it because I din't like the 496 that came in it. I don't really care what it is worth or anything else at this point.

i got it it take over 800ponys to make that boat go 80+ now a 496 with 425hp you are lucky you do 65mph i think it is funny when guy say they do 70 to 74 mph and they change there prop to a bigger one

Scott Halstead, Scalded Dawg on here, runs an 780+hp in his 25 Outlaw & it is a mid-80's boat right now I believe & it isn't dialed in yet!

Nope it's not I'm sending him props this weekend to help dial it in. I still can't figure out why nobody thinks a 25OL with a 496HO won't go 70+ on GPS? I've posted pics and video. Offered a ride. Guess just cause they all won't go 70 stock out of the box? I got video of Dawg running low 80's right beside me as well. Of course I've heard theres a 302 with HO's in it running 80+ too.

I just picked up a 92 24 Outlaw with a 502 carbed, boat has not been in water in 6 yrs, without adjusting the carb, 4 ppl on boat and a broken trim gauge we got 66 out of it. Im more then positive a newer 25 outlaw with stock efi 496 will do 70 plus.

A.O. Razor

Two things.

Was that a GPS number. If so. What prop with what ratio in the drive @ what rpm are you running 66?

The best I've ever seen in a 25 is 67-68ish with a 496HO.

It is with boats as with props, engines ect. There is no doubt that every once in a while, there is one out of the mold that just works a bit better. Somtimes, these things just comes together, Really good prop, a good engine, the right hull, well, 70 might be possible. But something like 72 on a regular basis with a 425 hp motor? No way, I don't by it. And I don't consider a run with driver only, running on fumes no gear on a cold morning, with the wind in the back, down stream, sun in your azz, the stars alligned right ect. to be any good. It's a fun, but useless number. As soon as you put 2-3 ppl in the boat 3/4 tank of fuel, gear, food and drink ect, that number will change, and that is the everyday number.

Just sayin'

Yes it was on GPS, it was with 4 ppl. light load of fuel, i think its a 21 pitch 3 blade, bone stock 502 with a stock bravo 1, turning close to 5800 rpm.

All im saying is that a 25 outlaw with stock 496 will run 70, if this dynosaur 92 runs 66, with trim gauge not working.

A.O. Razor

What do you mean by stock 502? Turning 5800??! - does not sound stock at all. A standard '92 Merc MAG 502 405 hp is build to turn 4800-5000. Not saying it can't turn 5800 with a much too small prop, but it has no power at 5800. It sounds odd.

Also the 24 is faster than the 25.

Always a couple non believers it's all in time setting the boat up. Baja is conservative setup out of the box.
