Re: 251 ouestions
251's are very nice boat. I owned a 242 and loved the boat. They are build solid and handle Lake Michigan water well for their size. That boat should run in the mid 60's. My 242 did porpoise at low cruiser speeds, but that can be corrected with the right trim and tab adjustments. The 251 is way more boat than a 24 outlaw. By the way, I love the look of the late 80's and early 90's 251, they are a sweet looking boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 1999 251 with the HP500 will run 78 GPS. Probably would run 80 with a labbed prop. Also handles the rough water well becasue it has a narrow beam. My boat is for sale, check it out in the classified.
