Pretty sure 2o.b. boats have raced class5.
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.

You could,........You could also put a horseshoe under the dash too but.......
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.

my 24 carrera with 500 hp and bravoo is very well balanced. putting outbards on these boats is a waist of time.
