Just got home from a long road trip to pick up a Savage. I have a 98 Outlaw 24 currently and this is a huge upgrade. Can't wait to get my 548 pulled from the outlaw and dumped into the Savage and get this boat on the water! Will try and get some pics posted shortly.

We need details! I didn't know there were any for sale other than a guy with a 99 and stock 502 that was toying with the idea of selling last year at about this same time.

Congrats...it will be a nice upgrade for you!

OCD has a 99 with HP500 but I don't think he would ever sell his baby! Curious to see this one. Where did it come from?

Came from very far away. All the way down in Mississippi. Was a very long drive to say the least but well worth it! Here is the only picture so far.

Came from Smithdale, MS.

Drock - I searched and I hadnt seen it either on the forums, and also on the roll call of 28's I never saw it pop up there either. It seems like its one of the ones, that got sold, and has never been seen here or accounted for. It's an HP500 boat, originally had a bravo one, and no hydro steering. The guy I got it from put a brand new xr on it a year or two ago, and added imco dual ram to the helm steering to it. I've got a new 548 that I just put in my Outlaw last fall that I'll dump in this. It dyno'd 650hp/675lbft. Any idea what that will give me for speeds and where I should start prop wise. Also the previous owner put a 3" spacer on the drive. Pull it? leave it? go 5 blade and pull it? Not sure what to do.

Boat's not perfect and the interior is well in need of redo'ing. I'll do that over the winter, replace gauges, and get it back up to standards. I'm sure there will be a ton of questions as I go along but the Active crew seems to be pretty cool.

2 questions - where can i source the dash switches? bunch of them the red light covers are popped out.

Drock - on your 01 is the sides of the cabin floor gel or carpet? Can you forward me pictures? Mine has what seems to be the carpet pulled out. Trying to figure out what the carpet looked like in place.

With a 525 and labbed 26P I see 73 mph. When OCDs boat had the pro charged 500(700 hp) I believe it ran about 86.

Thats a good looking 99...some of the better paint I've seen
