Scorpion 24
24 Carrera with 496HO?

Hi there!

It seems like a white 24' carrera is heading overseas to sweden any day now...

Just bought a 24' Carrera and I will install a 496HO, what kind of speed would you guys guess I will see?
Also, what prop would be a good first one to try?

Im new to the carrera boats so any input is welcome!

Thanks! /Fredrik, Sweden

I'm not sure 425hp is enough to break into the 70's, low to mid 60's I would think

1988 CARRERA SS8M / 509" / Bravo
(you bought the white one for sale in Miami? )
when new back in the 80s a Carrera 24 with a run of the mill 330/454/TRS would hit low to mid 60s on the radar gun depending on drive height and setup.
Hell there were actually a few cheapo (no cabin/no options) 260/350/Alphas built and they ran darn near 60mph (57-59)..
with 425hp/Bravo I would think it would run low 70s setup correctly
Best rough water 24' hull ever built, congrats!

Thanks for the numbers! I promise to give you an update once the boat hits the water.

Sounds like a good start, mid 60s was my first guess.

32 Activator #6 w/ JCPerf930hp 35 Fountain HP500's (Sold) 28 Arrow 2004 572SC-EFI/875hp (Sold) 24 Pantera 1995 454/365hp (Sold)
Thumbs up

Hi Freddan, long time..

First I like to say congrats I really like these 24x7 boats.
The hull is pretty much the same as the 24 Pantera hull.
But does it have the padded keel?
If the numbers is MPH one of the 24 Panteras in Sweden
run +66mph on a 400hp 454ci. My prev 24 Pantera -99 with a 454/365hp hit 63mph.

Don't be shy, talk 24x7 on boatsite.se, some of the guys there have some knowledge
