Single Big power 29 Outlaw??
 

Does any one have one or know of one? What would one run with a 540 blower motor? 700- 800 hp? I've found a couple of LOTO specials with single power and was thinking about it. I love My boat but would like to soften the waves and gain a little room. I just don't want 2 engines. The Nordic gang is wearing me out on getting a 28 heat.
Also, is Jason Smith running 454mags in his Procharger set up? I found one of those also with Imcos cheap. If i'm going to run 2 motors I better be tapping 100 also!!

I think a few were built but not many, by the time you put a 500 or 600sci in it, it probably cost more than twin 6.2's. Performance in a 29 with single will be slow, and with the HP you are suggesting, you better invest in some spare drives.

I think twins are better than you think,:ernaehrung004:

There was a guy here in Michigan that had one with a blown 540 and it ran pretty good.I think he was running mid 70's with it. .

I have a 28 Pantera F1 boat...single 540 Tunnel Ram 710hp, IMCO drive.


Best I have seen is 81.6mph on GPS but with labbed prop, one guy in the boat and light load of fuel JO@Pantera said she will run 85-86...and still crush waves. :ernaehrung004:

Pantera would probably be a good choice for you. Not to bash Baja or Nordic just my biased opinion.

BTW Dude Sweet has a nice one I think is for sale without power for a great price with an IMCO already on it. That would be a sweet and fast boat if you built a nice 700-800hp motor for it.

Cheers.

There was a single Procharged 29 running around here back in the day that ran 70 ish give or take.

That being said,,,,, I think it would ride better the a twin 29 in rougher water,,,,, that boat is a bit tail heavy with twins IMO

I made the mistake of thinking that I would
trade some speed for a better ride....that
boat only lasted 2 years.

It's going to be very hard to get a single 29
to run like the boat you got now.

There seems to be plenty of used twin 29's
on the market....I saw one w/502's for $42k.

The'll run low 80's with 500's, which isn't
too hard to make.


I'm thinking Jasons we're originally 454 mag mpi's,
but he did some enhancements to them.

I Think that is putting it lightly : )

I'm not sure why you don't want twins, but as someone else said there are alot of twin 29's out there. I have a friend that has the cleanest 29 with 454's there is, if your interested. You will never regret twins. IMO

I don't know what I was thinking. I spent a ton on mine last year. I've lost $160K and counting in my 401K, I just need to relax and use what I have. I hope to be in the 90's this year. It would be hard to go backwards in speed.
My Son has 3 more years of college. I think I'll wait and reward myself then with a 36 OL !!!!!!!!!!

I know of a 98' 36 O/L w/pro charged 502 MPI's, boxes, etc.
that can be had pretty cheap;)
