best thing to do would be contacting smitty @ opa if your seriously considering. He may flex the rules depending on his mood.....wasn't the freeze frame tempest 2o.b. a class 5er? Twin o.b. 24s aren't known to have the best qualities. Rick is selling his purple s.o.b. think you csm find it listed on s/f 20'+ hulls section, or miami cl Low 60 mph w 3 liter. Not exactly race ready. there's a real nice Carrera up here. "Pinball" owns it. It would be a great race boat but not sure if you only want green eyes... it's I.o. good luck |
Would you be able to run a ballast tank in the front to try and help the balance.

I think there's a reason why there's not a lot of 2o.b 24 s of any brand, and why they aren't highly sought after. I've never heard one good thing. That purple sob is currently on cl miami as well as a clean tempest 2o.b |
There was the 24 with twin 225 ProMax OB's and a 6 man standup layout got the snot beat out of it by a few owners and was sold out of Michigan about three years ago and ended up in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico I think. It had a forward ballast tank too. I gave it serious consideration but it was ragged out and PPI estimated 5-8K to redo the cockpit. There is a really nice 24 SE with twin OB in Canada but not for sale. According to Jo any twin setup requires the ballast tank.

on river daves theres a guy named jeffrymurrey1957 that says he used to race a late 70's 24 with twins in APBA. Scarab63 what purple boat are you talking about, PlumLoco? I looked and didnt see anything.
