I have a badass 502 sitting in my garage that I’m looking to drop in a fast hull, I’m gonna use this boat mainly for poker runs, and ripping around, not concerned with radios or cup holders

If I could pick I’d find a 24 progression LD ex race boat. But progressions arnt easy boats to find as it is

any other fast 24’ ish hulls out there, love to find an ex race boat that’s still in decent shape

A tad smaller but a 22 Velocity would do what you want. There was one without power and drive in the classifieds.

Padraig

awesome boats for sure but I agree on the tad small size, I had a 22 progression with a 300xs loved the boat but I think 700hp and 24’ has a nice ring to it.

Saw this Magnum on Facebook.

no 24/7 boats, badass looking yes, badass in rough water of course, not the fastest hulls out there

There is a 28' twin step Donzi bare hull in the swap shop. No idea on performance though

The 24 Superboat I owned went close to 80 with a stock 496HO.

We built what you are thinking of doing we used an 24 or 25 active thunder hull that was like new used a hi performance xr transome a bravo XR 380 tabs and close to 800 hp natural aspirated we use a 26p bravo prop and run it deep the hull has no steps its the most fun turn key does not break can carry 8 people and get on plane it really winds out up to 6800 on a very cool day. when we built the engine we killed the low end torque and put it on top like a truck puller....its just the most fun bang for your buck i have ever been involved with it runs into the 90s we call it thunder therapy and it sure is after a long week.... enjoy your build! and yes we could go faster but you start to lose driveability as you raise the drive and get into custom props it ended up being driver ed to teach my son how to drive fast in all conditions as we are restoring an 388 with big power but not so forgiving to learn on......just to show how old school i am we have never left the dock with out every one wearing a life vest! you can build a simple reliable fun predictable boat just think it out....you are welcome to come for a ride if you are in the lake ontario area

I definitely like those boats, I don’t have actual experience with a 24/7 boat but I’ve Hurd they are a handful above 90
