24ft power, what do you have?
 

Just trying to get an idea of who has what and what speeds are you seeing?
And pics would be nice... as usual. :)

Re: 24ft power, what do you have?
 

OK... I'll start.
1995 24SE 365mag... which I believe is a 1989 engine.
I had a compression test when the engine was cold before I bought the boat.
Compression was low in 2 cylinders, but could have been cause the engine was cold.
Anyway, the best I saw was 64.7mph GPS.
Normal day was 62.5.
The engine will be getting a rebuild this winter.
Not sure what I'm going to do, but staying stock may keep it less of a headache.
Any ideas out there?

Also, didn't mean to leave the 28 owners out... so let's hear yours too.

78 with 502 73.5 gps

Re: 24ft power, what do you have?
 

28' Single 525EFI 24 Bravo I 70.2 GPS with crap load of fuel(70 gal.).

1981 24, single 200 outboard :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
0MPH :D :D For Now, looking into a bigger single after the hull resto.

Probaly a stickey subject but I would never build a 28 with less than 500 hp . After running Full throttle, Dont get me wrong his boat ran well but I cant imagine any less motor in that weight boat. That boat requires HP to run period........

Oh my buddey had a 24/ 600 hp ran best of 81mph and was a hand full . If you wernt very careful you would get real hurt I spun it out runing close to 70 I was on the dash faceing the wrong way . So to avoid backlash it was a great boat under 78 mph over that you beter be ready .

My last run in my 24 with my 648HP motor was an 87.5 GPS. And you are right, even with 280 K planes and full hydraulic steering...it's a hand full!!

Re: 24ft power, what do you have?
 

I felt like th 24 had more mph in it but my coconuts wernt big enugf. You are the man.....

Re: 24ft power, what do you have?
 

Mine was very stable at 78 + with the 500 TRS combo But I have done a lot of stuff to make it handle well at thoose speeds on rough water. I can only hope that changing to the bravo drive does not cause handling problems because it is 2.5" shorter.
