Im looking at a '98 24' Outlaw with a 454/300hp according to the owner... Supposedly runs 50+mph in his listing... Thought this was kind of low??
What is the going speed for a 24 OL w/ 300HP and presumably stock prop?? And what better prop to go with, w/o giving up too much down low? Thanks, Chris |

Hi 50's, maybe 60. Look for 21P, 22P, or 23P props. I have a 21P Bravo and a 23P 4 blade for mine.

Thanks for the followup Crossett... I am looking for a boat to be able to run in the 50s, low 60s without needing to be WOT. But a '98 24 OL thats overall decent shape with an asking price of $12k sounds like a good deal, no?

Hope to hear back from him... Nothing yet. |
Thought I should follow up on this one since I've made some head way and learned some interesting things. I'll start with I bought the boat from my father in law who has more toys than he knows what to do with and definitly looses track of whats what. Its a 98 24 with 200 hours on it and it supposedly had a 502. I paid very short change for it (13K). So after putting a new 23P+ on the boat and being out and only hitting 52 at about 4400rpm thats all she had. Completly lost as to what is going on I decided to check my casting #'s as it just didnt seem possible that a 502 with 200 hours on it could be down on power, and low and behold, I have a 454! Which I think now completly explains everything. At this point I think I need to try a 23 without the plus (extra cupping) and even probably a 21 and a 21+. Anyone have any suggestions? I dont think my motor is the mag motor, any way to tell for sure?

I'm carbed. So that answers that. Any idea's on the prop? I'm thinking the 23+ is slowing me down. Time to start saving for a 500/525efi swap.
