Raised ''x'' on 24 outlaw
 

Any one ever raised the x on a 24 otlaw or a similar boat, how did it respond and how did you do it??? :)

You got a chain saw?

O and I forgot -lots of silicone!

Raised the X on my 27. See the Baja Discussion Page. Mine worked really well.Dave Warden

Waterfoul has raised his like 2.5 inches... He is around here someplace, but maybe he found a lady for the weekend :eek:

Yo waterfoul!!!!!!!!! :D

Its a lot of work! trust me your much better off with the Imco shotened lower case.Its 2" shorter unless you need more than that.

Tried the 2" shortie on my 25 Outlaw and lost 5mph. Look in the Baja discussion about "shorter X"

Thanks guys, mabye I should just leave well enough alone

Same here. I tried a lower gear case that was 2" shorter and the boat lost 2 or 3 mph but it did handle great. 27' baja

baja...hummmm...take the hook out of the bottom ;)

I talked to the factory at length about this several years ago (before it was sold to it's currnet owners who don't seem to want to talk to anyone). I raised mine 2.5" like Traviss said. BUT, I added about 125 hp at the same time. I got 70 mph out of it with about 475 hp. Handles like a dream. No loss of hole shot. BUT, it does seem to porpoise a bit at WOT. I don't have that motor anymore, but the drive is still up. If I were to do it all over again, I'd go with the shorter drive instead. Less work. I got Baja to send me the plug they cut out of the transom for a bravo drive. My glass guy simply tabbed it into the old hole, then cut the new one a few days later. Worked like a charm he said. Wonders why he never thought of that before??? Said he will always do it that way from now on.

Remember though, the 25 Outlaw has a different bottom than the 24. The 25 has a small notch in the transom.

Oh, and it takes less trim to get to WOT, cruises at less rpm (same speeds), and throws a wicked rooster tail if you want!!!
