Another thing to remember is that is not very difficult to get 50-75 more hp out of the 7.4's. You can spin them to 5k and keep them very reliable. There are a ton of posts in the technical section on this.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

I had a 97' with 7.4's......The guys with the
25 OL's would run with it.

Personnaly, I would go with 385's or better.

That seems to be the right amount of "go" to
make them run good.
plus, alot of those boats with this power or better,
are equipped with external steering,
which is a veerrrryyyy nice feature.

that looks like a 97, not 98. is that a steel bar up front or white. cant tell in the pic.

i know of a 98 in austin thats about the same money, 454 mpi's. if that one doesnt turn out to be a good deal, i can turn you on to this one.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

and i think liquid asset knows of a 97 with 502 mags that runs either 73 or 76 for about the same money.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

Yep, MAGS are a must!

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

Yes with mags or better you get the lathem steering and the k-planes which gives excellent stability and control at higher speeds...this option is a must have don't get it without, and it looks great on the business end with all that hardware:)

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

Does a white or metal bar determine the year?

I would be interested in the one liquid asset knows about. I am leaving town today and won't be back for a week but I might like to look at it when I get back.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

I think the white bar started in 98. liquids friend that has the 97 has a metal bar. that boat is fast. passed me up at a poker run. i did get a good shot of it running.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

still available in great shape with a lot of new updates 59,000 runs 76, email me if interested at [email protected]

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

Glad you guys talked me out of the mpi's. I drove 500 miles one way to look at the boat and it was sold before I got there.
