Was this boat an I/O at one time? It looks like the cockpit is small-and engine compartment larger than most OB's. Just curious.

Per the ad from last fall it was custom built that way as an outboard boat for the original owner.

Any guess how fast it really is?

55-60mph.... To go faster you'll have to leave the GPS on out on the highway.


I like the part in the new ad where it mentions the boat being kept indoors, yet the prior seller had no trailer and the photos were mostly on a boat lift.... Same watercraft numbers on both boats.

I agree, I love the old school look of the bolster seats but that cockpit is almost useless. People always complain that my 22 Avanti cockpit is small but I feel like it's double the space that this one has. I guess the benefit is you have more storage in the back in the "I/O engine compartment" but seems like it could have a more function layout.

Im sure its a factory OB boat. But the only real difference between IO and OB hull is the engine placement. Looking at the pictures, the stringers extended up and support the transom like any OB boat should.
The twin engine OB 24 listed on oso has the "extended cockpit" and looks like thats the way to go with a OB boat.
