I am looking to buy a used 2000 25 outlaw, any problems know with these boats? it has a 502 mag 65 supposed hrs. If I was procharge it 5lbs and usual bolt ons what can I expect top speed?


Thanks again
I know stock bravo1 will not take that much HP I was told

werre you not lloking at Pquests a few weeks ago. NOW bAJA'S







Were you not looking at p-quests a few weeks ago. Now Baja...Boats keep getting smaller. whats up bro.
Oh yeah forget the Procharger, not reliable. If you go that route Supercharges will be fine if done/set up correct. Pass on that powerplant. Save the real power for a bigger boat.
movin on

I live in Philadelphia,Pa The only place I go with a boat is the river. I don't need a 37 outterlimits! But Yes I want 1 I was Looking at powerquests also sonics. Just looking for a nice 70 Mph boat within my budget. Looked at a 29 outlaw but why should i spend the money all I do is tan with the ladies in the sun all day

Thanks

Hey not tryin to ruffle any feathers, you sound thin skinned. In the past the CAP was looking at bigger boats and I was wondering why suddenly the brand/size got much smaller. Just sounded like he never really knew what he wanted and was playin some sellers.
Not sure what the house reference is, never said anyone could afford/not afford something. Hey great ya live in a 300k house on the lake. The Spiders are not choosy. Great ya paid for your boat already, not a great investment but.... what is for that much cash when it a luxo item! Besides 300k on the lake means nothing . There is crap for 300k on some lakes! You could have a sliver of land and a big house, or a huge plot and a modest house. Who cares. I have friends who over extend and never "feel"(have no money) to do anything. Glad the CAP is being smart and not spending more than is necessary to do what he wants.
I was gonna dis Bajs but the 24/25 Outlaws are actually one of my more favorite boats in the smaller size range. Hell, it rides like a much bigger boat when driven properly.
Even considered taking one in on trade when I was selling my last boat. To get that lug over 70 you need more than a 502.

Good luck with the search or will we see ya in another forum soon??? Look around, go sit in all of em, there are many to choose from. Lots to pick from in that size range!

I'll set you up with a nice 25 Outlaw.

Take a look at my post "1999 25 Outlaw" in the Baja forum as well as the for sale forum.

The motor in this boat already has the horsepower from the factory. No one has ever turned a wrench on the motor. (At least you know what you're getting into when it has not been modified by the previous owner/s).

Sorry for the shameless plug, guys.......

Dude alll I have been doing all winter is looking at boats! I 'm looking for a speed boat that I can have fun in. I treated my last boat like an extra large wave runner! I was looking at 29 powerquests and 29 outlaws, but why spend all that money when i will spend most time anchored listened to radio hangin with Bikini's! I don't jerk salespeople around I just wasted $600 bucks flying to mississippi to look at a 29 outlaw that was trashed, the saleman said it was new! new my a@@ so who jerks who!

Cap.. sorry Bro, ya just sound like a guy who has gone on Trader/and OSO classifieds and emailed every add with a cool boat for pics, maybe email 50% back after they took time to send ya pics. Hmmmmm, made ya think. No problem, good sellers take the Bad with the Good anyday.

Gotta... right on with the Whipple over the procharger. no debate.
As far as the speed on that 25, remember a 500 efi gets it to what... 73, so that Whippled 454 mag should be a touch higher, but not much. Takies a lot to get it to 80.
About the Lake deal, it kills me how every lake will have so many nice properties mixed in with trailers and Junk!!! Makes sense 'cause thats where people first settled. The Lake communities are always the oldest. Hope your situation works out for ya, just keep your property up, have fun and you can sleep well knowing you did your part!
Cap 70 mph in a smaller boat is tough, but not out of reach. Some west coast Manufacturers give it good efforts.
Some decent reasonably priced used boats could be 27 Fountain(hmmm maybe not, although the smaller beak owners are not as bad as the big beaks), 29, 26 Scarabs, 25, 24 Outlaws, 27 PQ, 26 Sonic, 23 Nova, 25, 27 Advantage, 25, 28 Nordic. Actually the 26 Velocity is fast. 25 Act Thunder Just a few, but all have +/- that every boat will have

Boy this is fun, wish i could shop!!!

I have e-mail about 5 or 6 people, But about 20 e-mailed me for my boat! I just can't find a boat I really like. I looked at a 26 sonic, 29 scarab, 28 and 29 powerquest,a 29 baja outlaw, and now looking at 25 outlaws. all I am looking for is a sharp looking boat that does 70 mph that appeals to me.but like I said I use my boats like a wave-runner that I tan on!

I love my 25 checkmate just too slow 60 mph doesn't cut it my 1 friend has a 32 hustler = 88mph so thats a chaser LOL

I have a friend with a 454 25 ft outlaw with 7lbs boost PRO CHARGED, headers, gears, nose cone he runs low 80's. Pro Charged for 4 years. We have a H2X with a 502 headers nose cone, drive showers, Hydraulic steering, Msd ignition. We picked up over 20mph over stock on GPS with only 4.5lbs of boost stage m3 intercooler and upgraded fuel system. No problems yet upper 80's on GPS. My mechanic does work on PRO CHARGER'S personal boats we were skeptical about supercharging a boat after the problems we ran into in a old car we had. But we know others that have had problems with superchargers just don't cut any corners!

JST,

Was that a recommendation for ProChargers? If it was, it wasn't very definitive.

GottaHaveIt,

I realize you have a little experience with the Whipple (riding in a Whipple-Charged boat), but what do you have against ProCharger? Have you ever worked with one? Had a bad experience with one? Ever ridden in a ProCharged boat?

All of the people I have talked to that have them, say they have no problems with them, so I am curious why you would recommend a Whipple over a ProCharger. The Whipples make a lot of boost, but they make it right away and this can be a problem for someone with a heavy throttle hand (i.e. Bravo go boom). The ProCharger brings on the power more gradually and therefore less harsh on your drive if you happen to punch it from a dead stop.

Eastcoaster,

What is your PERSONAL experience with the ProCharger that makes you claim them to be unreliable?
