24' with twin small blocks
 

a friend of mine has a 87 24' sport with twin 350's in, I never seen one like this before. Has anyone else seen this combo before?

No, never even heard of one that small with twins. Any pics?

I don't but he must! I'll see what I can do to get some on.

I'd like to see some pics, also. Never heard of twins in a 24. Custom retro-fit, maybe?

That's a long time ago, but I think I remember one that was built in production at Baja. If I recall the handling was terrible! There were also twin O/B versions built.

I have seen twin 265's before. Never seen a 24.

The 1987 Sport 240 twin outboard that was rigged here in VA also handled terrible. :confused: Twin 250 HP Mariners that would chine walk you out of the boat. My single blown 572 BBC Sport 240 handled OK on smooth water at 91. But ate bravos for lunch on any given day.

I forget what centers were used on twin O/B's but I bet they are fighting to stay down in the water at top speed. The 240 has just too short of a running surface for twins. Twin IO's would be a CG issue with too much weight in the rear in that hull. It is best suited for one BB engine only IMO. The 265 was a great running twin SB Baja though.
