25 outlaw
 

looking at 2000 25 outlaw with a 502 mag any thing to look for,any info will help

Salt water? How many hours?

Get surveyed. If stock manifolds, look underneath manifolds for rust. Prob will need to replace soon. After I sold mine, guy ran it 4 times and they leaked on inside. Cheap insurance to replace and get many hours out of her!!

Great boat!! Should run 65-67 ish.

Check the transom. My 98 they only used a strip of sealant between the row of screws for the trim tabs. Water was leaking into the transom from day one.

it has 150hrs. on it from the original owner,frash water boat from georgia lakes. a lot of talk on how a baja is made recently,up here in NY near Hudson we dont get a lot time on the water .cant afford a rotted falling apart boat.just want something a little bigger,sounds & looks good & have fun with.

Just get a survey, water can be present in most boats and cause rot. They will take a moisture meter and test all over the place, especially around all things bolted to transom.

The 25 is a great boat!! The first poker run we did on ours, we had 6 ft swells in Lake Pontchartrain coming back from Tickfaw 200 to slidell. A friend with a 34 formula didn't' even make it and parked it a got a ride.

We definitely felt safe and the boat felt solid. We had to run in the troughs and occasionally would jump out and land in another and keep going. I had never been in a deep V that landed like a 24 degree deadrise boat!! Landed like we were on a pillow!! seriously!!

At 150 hours if stock, runs can be a factor, I would still check the undersides of the manifolds for rust, this will give a good indication of how good they are, but I would still change them if there were stock. they were just sitting and rusting with no hours on motors. Mine had 200 hours in 2008 on my 99', lasted 5 years until she rusted out. Toward the end, it had rust, I thought it wasn't too bad, but it ended up failing in #8 cylinder that year on new owner. I felt pretty bad, but I told him they probably needed to be changed.
