If considering hatch upgrade/replacement you might want to contact XT. They might have parts/ideas etc. available that could end up being pretty sweet!

It's going to run 82-84 just like every other boat you've ever owned

I'll bet it feels like a buck plus in a 23 footer.
Funny thing is I've got a bud selling a 236 I'd love to buy and drop a 525sc into.
It would certainly save on fuel costs and without a doubt be an easier tow for day trips.

See ya

Sad but true!.......... I need to hit at least 84 to break my bad luck streak! Hahaha!

Just acquired the external hydraulic steering system on Sunday. Boat parts are coming in! Pics to follow..........

My 236 with a stock 330 only runs 51 on GPS. I need a pro charger or something.

Pics.....steering

Very interesting, I will stay tuned for sure.

I think you need water like a mirror when drive an 232 so fast!
I have an 232 with new 8.2 Mag Ho,whiple PCM and look now for CMI !
It runs 72-73 Miles but any waves make it very hard!
So much power like 650 HP or so is better for a bit longer boat with 24 degree hull and not only 23 like the 232 have.
I run 25 mirage plus! But only 4800 RPM.So i look for CMi to get bit higer RPM.
But Think is is then much enough as it can not be used real when more power.

[QUOTE=kreed;4195624]Ive looked in past posts here in the Baja forums to see if anyone has ever put 600+ HP in a 232 Baja Boss.

I have a 98 H2X w a 502 mag vortech S/C 630hp in a 24 foot 21 degree dead rise bass boat like bottom w twin ram trim tabs. My boat has a 26p bravo one that bumps the rev limiter at 5400rpm at just over 3/4 throttle.. It really needs a 28p Bravo but it comes out of the hole so good and cruises so good I don't care all that much about more top speed. In fact we just bought a 300 Searay and towing the Baja does not feel all that good so I guess I will be selling the 260hr Baja hotrod for only $27,500..
