Re: B-Nauti is getting a new heart
 

I believe we are going to have to cut the back seat but I am told it really is not a big deal.
To tell you the truth, it ran better before the work was done on the prop. Nothing against Throttle up, they are GREAT, but my prop was messed up to begin with. I got 61 mph before the prop was worked. I have not put her on a GPS with the worked prop though. It does feel and drive different though. It just does not feel as fast. I could be wrong because I have not tested it with a gps. I have never had that much trouble with porpoising at higher speeds. It has porpoised and when it does I just trim it down a tad and that takes care of that, and of course that slows me down a tad too.

If you want speed... go with twin 525 EFI's

Re: B-Nauti is getting a new heart
 

I do not think twin 525's will fit in the 24 Outlaw. :)

Re: B-Nauti is getting a new heart
 

For what i'ts worth, I went with a HP 500 motor. Looking back I should have just saved the money I spent on the motor, props & full hydraulic steering. The 24 Outlaw is an awesome boat for it's size, however the hull design is not that efficient when it comes to speed.Bring on rough water no problem. I have an offer on the boat now, hopefully close the deal tomorrow 26.5k. The sad thing is with the whole boating lifestyle is we are never happy with what we have. I want a bigger faster boat now & should have just bought the boat I really wanted as I dumped a ton of $$ into both motor & boat. I love my Outlaw, inspite what some say I found the boat to be well built & good quality. Good luck with the project.

You must have talked to Mike. I need to see what we are doing right now with the 454. So I might use yours or Mark's. I mean he is right there next to us in the storage. Thanks and see you tomorrow!

Johno,
I am so sorry you feel that way. You are actually the first person that has told me they were not happy with more sped and hp in the 24 OL. I hope the deal goes through for you and you find a different boat real soon.

Re: B-Nauti is getting a new heart

OLCG---

I have a 95 with a 454 carbed engine and I bolted an intercooled Whipplecharger on it. Went from 61 to 75 on GPS. You will need to add hydraulic steering if you don't have it already. My boat is a blast to drive over 70. Unfortunately I have grown tired of "just 75 mph" so I am selling mine in the spring of 2005 and going with a 33-36 footer and will have even bigger HP to go even faster. My wife has finally realized that I have a disease. Oh well !!!! She loves boating too !!!! I hope to go well into the 80 mph range with the next boat.

Good luck with your upgrade. Email me with any questions because I did have to modify the seat back for the Whipple. It was pretty easy to do.
