Anyone know anything about it? I am looking at it this weekend.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

I don't...but I will say the pic looks very nice.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

I would think twice about those motors. Personally I would look for one with at least 454 Mag motors.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

What kind of top speed with twin mpi's?

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

Probably run upper 60's. Find out what props he's turning and the rpm's. Looks like a nice boat. My dad had a '97 with the carb. 7.4's and we loved that boat.

I am going to look at it Saturday, I am going to be in that area anyway.

Namwot, my best friend made the mistake of buying a 2000 29 ft outlaw w/310 454's. It is a gorgeous boat,takes the rough stuff good but 4 people/ 3/4 tk gas/600 ft elevation at 75 degrees it runs a best of 60 mph. He has been tryin to sell it for 2 years but the 310's KILL the deal. It has been repropped and the tune checked to achieve a best of 63 mph empty. If you don't care about top speed jump on this deal but if you have speed vision or are considering resale than the 310's aren't a good starting point ,Smitty

I have looked at A LOT of 29 Ols in the past few weeks I would consider buying. Everyone I find that I am interested in has 310 hp 454s. I walk away the second I hear that. The boat needs more motor than that IMO.

Thanks, I haven't rode in a 29OL so any info is nice.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

I have a 2004 29ol with the 496mags. Best on the Gaffrig speedo was 77mph cool temps, 2 people and 1\4 tank of fuel. Have not put a GPS to it but guessing it is running 72-73mph on GPS . All I can say is I love this boat. With the right power it is great :)

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

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.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

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.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

I have a 2001 with 496HO's and only 110 hours. You can have it for $74,000. Runs 79 on GPS. Boat looks like it's never been used.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

That is way nice 29 Outlaw and just what I would like to have but I just can't afford that right now (at least not without selling some other toys).

I really want to move up from the H2X I have but I do not want to get into something I am not happy with like an underpowered boat.

I am seriuosly considering moving up to a 25 OL for now and then trade up again in a couple of years to a 29 OL with good power.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

Sounds cool. Remember, the selling price of my boat drops $500 each month so this time next year it can be had for $68,000. I think with HO's this boat runs plenty fast. Despite what people say, there aren't too many 80mph boats out there. I know that for a fact cause I don't see too many people passing me.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

My boat runs 70 and that is plenty fast. I am not really looking for 80. 50's would be a bit dissapointing.

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

29 ol, What year did they change outdrive height? and what did it do to the speed with same power?

Re: Anyone know anything about this 29 OL
 

They changed outdrive height in 2002. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I saw no point in raising the X on 29 Outlaws. Boats with the raised X are forced to run 4 blade props. I run 27" 3 blades. Whatever they gained in speed by raising the X was instantly lost by being forced to run 4 blade props vs. 3 blade. It made no sense to me.
