24 Outlaw speed?
 

Hey guys,im lookin at a 24 Outlaw with a 454 mag mpi,i was just wondering what kind of speed to expect,and how do they ride when the lake gets a little rough. Im hoping to upgrade boats in the near future ,and found one that looks good so i figured id tap into some of your guys knowledge. Thanks Jason

I have a 24' Baja Outlaw with a 454 mag with carb and headers will run 65 gps with 25 gal of fuel, the outlaw has a 24 degree v which provides a very smooth ride in rough water

Thanks,i was thinking it should be around 62-65 mph!

Have had a 95 24 with 454 mag EFI for 5 yrs now.. Been an awesome boat.. Bought with 52 og hours now has 490.. 24p lab finished from Bblades have seen 68gps LIGHT.. Everyday loaded 60-64.. Going to classifieds soon.

The one i looked at today wasent in very good shape so im still boat shopping.Thanks for the response. 24OL4NOW holler at me when you list it! thanks jason

speed
 

i have a 1997 24 ft outlaw with a 502 and m1 proc harger. it does between 75mph and 80 depending on my mood that day and the chip in the rev limiter and it rides better and smoother in a chop then flat water. i boat in lake erie and it is rarely clam where i live, perfect boat for my needs and location

I have a 24 OL and have a 509 all internals by Bob Madera and assembled by me and a machine shop here local. Never dynoed. He est 550 horse or so. All other bolts on like the 500hp. Have hydro steering and k-planes. She used to get really wonky at high speeds. and that may have slowed it down. I have not had the cabin interior in it since the build. carry the normal gear. alone, low fuel, October... 50 Fahrenheit, hatch cracked open 1 foot chop 75.1 mph gps. any other day 69-72mph. depends on the day, load, fuel, heat, water. shes a good boat. the acceleration of the boat/engine configuration makes a lot of 27 fountains around here sad. I bet they could wind out over a couple miles and get me but i get them on the jump.

98 24 outlaw here. Stock had the base 330 454. With a mirage 23+ trimmed out I was able to get 59 on gps. Motor is out now and I have a Bob Madera 548cu in going in it. Dynoed 652hp, we'll see what she does this coming summer. Hoping once I get it dialed in I should be over 80.

Does the hatch trick actually work? Heard that before, good for 1 or 2 MPH?

Good for you! Bob is the man! I have had no issues with anything in my setup.

I gain more rpm with the hatch open getting some fresh air. I should do a closed and open test. I guess i just figured it was helping considering i was wearing layers trying not to freeze out there. The water was cold and the air was cold...

He definitly is and knows his stuff. Cant wait to get it fired up and running. Typical BM build AFR heads, his cam etc. It is tuned on the conservative side of things, I know if we lean it out a little bit more we could probably hit the 700hp number.
