Default Just Bought a 24 CS what to expect

I have had a 24 Outlaw with a 496 For awhile now and I just picked up this CS and really excited for spring to see what she does! The CS is a 502 punched to a 509 with A1000 Fuel system, Programmed computer and IMCO Manifols with a 4 Blade 26P , What are the differences I will notice other than this one will be alot faster! OR Did I make a right move by buying this?

Any info or suggestions on this unit would be appreciated!
Aaron

Congrats, love the 24CS. I have old Powerboat and Hot Boat tests of that hull that I could copy and fax if you are interested. Please post some pics.
Thanks: Matt

I hope you boat on a pond, having owned both a 24 outlaw & a 27 Fountain , I can only compare the 2.. yes the fountain will be faster but won't ride worth a in any kind of water, the 24 CS was designed more as a ski boat as opposed to an offshore.
