Default upgrade from 29 to 36 questions

Im looking at a 36 outlaw, currently have a 29. a few questions.

1. I know the rides better, but is it a significant difference?

2. How much harder to trailer? Im a trailer queen.

3. My 29 has 7.4's, the 36 has 500hp's, is it going to use a ton more gas?

4. Will my F-250 with a v-10 be ok for pulling a 36?

Thanks!

Jason

ITS NOT SO MUCH THE RIDE UNTIL YOUR IN 3-4 WAVES, TRAILERING IS EAISIER WITH A BIGGER BOAT.. AS LONG AS ITS A DECENT TRAILER NOT MUCH DIFF IN FUEL. UNTIL YOU PUT SOME TYPE OF BLOWERS. ON IT BECAUSE A 36 WITH 500 IS A SLOW AS CAN BE. AS TO YOUR F-250 THE V-10 IS GOOD FOR 12500

I have a 29 with 7.4's that I'm trying to sell and a 36 with 496 HO's that I've had about 6 weeks. The fuel consumption is much higher with the bigger, heavier boat but my boat stays at LOTO and the ride is worth the fuel.

We just pulled a 38 Donzi ZX to Florida and back with a F-250 V10. You should have no problems with a 36 Outlaw. Gas mileage sucked though.

1. YES - A foot is like a mile on a boat. You will be hard pressed to find a better ride in any 36 or under boat then the Baja 36 OL. Just ask Judy Darby of Hot Boat!

2. I agree with above. EASIER
Even the wife looks like a PRO backing our rig. It's easier to manage a longer trailer. We are 58 Feet overall from front of truck to the tail of the outdrive!

3. Depends entirely on how you drive and use the boat. You find your groove and comfort level. Then operate within it.

4. Not Enough Truck in my opinion. We also have an Excursion V-10 and it was not pretty with the 36 behind it, even with air bags. I stepped up to the F350 right away. Better safe then sorry.


Baja36ft is dead nuts on with his speed numbers on the 500's.

The difference is that you will be able to run that speed all the time at inland waterways. I have friends with faster boats on smooth water, buy when it gets rough we get to show them who is boss!

Here's where the 36 really shines!

OFFSHORE

These were taken off Hilton Head Island.

Really kind of smooth that day!

Dam! I was hoping you were talking about my 36! Look at the all whight on in the classifieds. Or look at my help selling 36 outlaw thread.

The ride is incredable compared to a 29.

The gas sucks

Trailering is fine.
