Those outboards sure do have quite a bit more cockpit space than the stern drives.

When we power the 24' model with outboards most customer opt to go wih the extended cockpit option.We basically re - glass the rear bulhead approximately 2 feet further back and go with a smaller size sunpad.It does add alot more room in the cockpit.

Thumbs up

Thanks Jo, now I really can't work.
I wonder where my mind is... .

I can't wait to see it, but unfortunately I won't take the wrap off it till the weather gets better. Don't want to ruin that great job you guys did!

Thanks again for making this a very pleasurable experience. Which in the boating world is rare.

IMO this would be the ultimate set up for the boat. Seems like a better use of space.

Love those sit downs!

I am torn on which way to go when I finally get it together, of course I love the sound of the big block, but would also like the extra cockpit space, and the reliability, and easy maintenance of the O/B???? Are some of the older O/B ones set up this way at all?? unfortunately I dont think I will have the $$$$ to buy a new one anytime soon.

I personally like an I/O for the 24' but my Father likes outboards.They both run great.

Here is another 24' SE powered by twin 225 Pro Maxs that went to Canada in 2002.
