29 Outlaw big power
 

Who has big power in their 29 Outlaw? I'm talking over 500 HP. How fast is it? I want to be in the mid 80's and am looking to find out how much hp I'm gonna need.

JT with the 33 and 575's had a 29 w/500's and i thought it did low 80s, Id say 550hp/side would get you there.

How low were the 80's on the 500's?

Re: 29 Outlaw big power
 

80-82 gps everyday.
did 83 once at the shootout.

Re: 29 Outlaw big power
 

why not look at putting 2.3 whipples on your motors? 454mags are one of the best motors for these

Re: 29 Outlaw big power
 

Thought about that too. I just hate the thought of spending $13000 for 200 more hp a side. On top of the expense of a rebuild. I think I can spend far less $ and get to 550 HP. Whipple claims "up to 50%" more HP, that translates to 577.5 HP on a 385 hp engine.
Who knows, I may have a new boat by this fall anyway.

they have a guy here in baton rouge ,la he has a 97 29 outlaw with built 496's with prochargers running dynod 650hp each he claims to be turning 32's at 91gps

Re: 29 Outlaw big power
 

I'm in on 90 mph. That is where I would like to be. That seems pretty good for only 650 a side.

Re: 29 Outlaw big power
 

I would think that 650 a side should get you more than that. My 38 Topgun with 575's can hit 90 on a good day (88 consistently). Granted it is stepped, but alot more weight than a 29 Outlaw. I had a 2002 29 Outlaw with 496's (375's) and it would run 70-71. Seems weird that the hull is that slow. It was a nice boat though.
