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

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.
