I have a 25 outlaw and also run on LOTO. First 2 years had factory setup with slop in the gimbal bearing. My arms were numb after a day of driving. I added the extension box and full hydraulic steering and it's a way better ride(still not great lets be honest its still just 25') but not fighting feedback in the steering wheel and the extension box keeping the nose down makes it a lot easier to drive. On the BFD run last year I ran next to 2 29 Outlaws (both single engine boats) and from what I could tell the boats handled the waves very similar. Bottom line go as long as you can and get full hydraulic steering. It's worth every penny on LOTO.
