Have any of you guys chasing the digits tried changing the X dimension? Don't even know if thats possible or an option but I was recalling that the IA dealer was infamous for doing that on some 30's and getting a better number out of them.
I know this is a 25 OL discussion but I must brag some about my awesome setup. Brace yourself boys, you'll all look like school girls after seeing my setup.
385 screaming ponies tied to a bone stock Bravo 1 that will sink to the bottom as fast as anyone elses on here. This beast of an engine is sucking 14.7 atmospheres at idle or wide open throttle.... how's that for consisitent ?? !!
The bottom of this 29 foot (a true 29 all you pozers) has been washed at least once a year and I use super slick Windex on my windscreen.
If I'm on the downhill side of a 3 foot cruiser wake I can see an honest 53. Well, 52.8 GPS but I fudge it a bit so I can say I'm in the 53 club.
I'm planning a big upgrade this year to an anodized steering wheel and maybe some new floormats if they don't scrub too much speed off my top end, I'll leave them in their all the time. I also have found a trick that many of you guys may not know about..... Run the chemical toilet empty and you can save like 6 lbs and pick up some huge gains.
Really though guys: I've enjoyed this thread and my hats off to you. Just be careful out there as the Baja brotherhood lost Shane a few years back in a smaller sized (think it was a hammer) Baja gettin' it real hard. Only met him a couple times but a nicer boat embassador there never was. Cheers !

Hey Stephen, not sure if I met you beings that I ran the "Thunder Over The Lake" Poker Run in 2006 at the LOTO when PBP held it? I can tell you that Shane "Liquid Fix" Pierce was my best friend so you have my attention!!!!!!! Shane was a 1 of a kind boater and lived about a 1/2 mile from me. He died doing what he loved best racing me and others back to the "State Dock" at the Lake Cumberland Poker run in 2006.......R.I.P. Boys you better be careful tapping 70 plus in rough water conditions.......FYI! Looks like you wised up over the years with you new set-up Stephen.......:-) Anyways.......
I have raised my "X" dimension at least 2-1/2" and it has helped.....
I have exhausted the idea of triple digits and the 90GPS game with my 25 Outlaw from all the drive and engine failures......

sounds great. with this new prop, i will be getting better top end speed, need new prop because, after new engine, i am turing 6000 rpm at 75 mph with 1/4 throttle left, so the new prop i hope will bring me down to 5600, 5800 rpm wide open at perfect trim height, the company is going to take the boat out for me and test it and puit the best prop on it with sparring no expense.
also i told hydromotive engineering that i want the prop for tubing and knee boardoing and he said he could do all that
so i can't until the snow stops coming
send me your email and i will send you pictures of my boat by email
my email is [email protected]
