I ve been reading your posts with interest, i too have got a 36 2001 outlaw which i have repowered with raylar 600s, ive had only a couple of running but with WOT i ve had 79.5 with a strong tide behind but normally get 77, i need to a bit of prop testing and i am going to try some 29" mirage plus props next, i am currently running 28" hydromotives but dont seem to be picking the bow up enough! hope to hear more about your boats soon! Regards Charlie

Well after reading this thread it gives me hope. I have always been told to run that fast you need a lot of power. All the newer boats are running in the low to mid 80's with stock 525's. They all have extension boxes or drives with a box built in it, shorty's and 5 or 6 blade props. The set up is everything, so it looks like I am in the market for some extension boxes and shorty drives. I just put new power in the boat this year even with all the other costs involved still cheaper than a new boat. Besides we love the boat all the way around we have owned it for almost 11 years. My how time fly's!!

You'll definately want shorty drives and extension boxes. I wouldn't waste much money on XR's if thats what your currently running and trying to acheive speed and increased HP many have destroyed XR's running higher HP. Your 99 model will have the deeper X dimension. I believe it was 2002 that it was raised on mosts models so chances are you'll be looking at something in a Imco drive where you can run a -3" shorty. Good luck and hope you find that magic setup.

I think you'll see a big difference when you get the 30's back.Everyone I have ever seen do alot of mods, seems to have alot of problems staying on the water. The speeds not that big of a deal to me, I just want it turn key so I can be out on the water as much as possible. Good luck and safe boating!
