Thank you all going to try this weekend will let you know how it truns out . I'm maxed out on plates can't go down any more so this is my last option. Also another how do you guys feel about hooking both engines together with a hose in back seen it done before just didn't understand reasoning behind it.

I have not personally seen the boat run but from another buddy of mine when they where at river ranch he lined up against another 24 with 2.5s promaxs or 260s and they raced to 100mph and verado boat had it buy 4 to 5 boats is what I heard. As soon as my ready I'm going to line up with him. When I go ride I'll get some video. I agree it can't be good touch water boat but I'm sure pretty soon he can turn those 350s to 400s and 800hp in 24 ft boat is no joke. Hope everyone has good mermorial day weekend and thank you if there any veterans in here.

I owned a 24 for many years and totally loved the boat! Ran it with 2.5's and it was a very well balanced boat.
Would fly straight and level but still there were times you could get in trouble under the right(wrong) circumstances and water conditions.
Just can't imagine a 24 with an extra 600 pounds hanging off the back of the transom!
Like others are saying, be extra careful and safe.

Nice Pair, will we finally get to see your beautiful trailer all finished and looking fantastic at Shasta in 9 days? Please tell the life-sized leprechaun we miss her.

I'm bringing 2 gallons of rustoleum and 14 brushes, we'll need something to do while I'm cooking the tri-tips. ;-)
