What kind of power do you need in a Baja 25 Outlaw to get it over the 80 MPH mark?

750HP?? I have 800HP and see 85 with 33 prop in 2004 25 outlaw.

I have a 272 boss (I know its not exactly the info you are looking for but thought I would share) that makes 902 HP with a pro-charged 522, stern jack and a 30 pitch four blade and it has been low 90's.

I have 1997 24 ft outlaw sst w a 502 and m1 procharger and i see 80mph, with a 4 blade spinelle prop

I believe I saw one say one time that the 25 outlaw takes either 12 or 15hp per mile per hour. So I would say at least 650. Assuming you have a 496 ho, bust out the checkbook for some forged internals and a whipple. Then you will have to upgrade the drive as well and add hydraulic steering. I would take that money and just buy something faster.

I have also seen low 80's gps ... It's is Deffinatly a handful without hydraulic steering. I run a B1 with steel tower and thick floor gears, haven't had any issues as of yet but I don't live at those speeds either.

had a hp500 whipple charged and ran 81-82

i assume 650 hp

I've ben working on a performance prediction calculator that is starting to yield some pretty good results. What I am seeing from it is you will need between 575 and 600 hp at 5000 rpm if you can keep the boat weight around 5500 lbs. You will need a 29 or 30 pitch prop depending on what end of the hp scale you are on.

I have a 496HO with raylar 525HO kit installed with a B1 spinning a 27 cupped/labbed 4blade prop. I can get a consistent 75 mph without hitting rev limiter. Hope this info will help get you some closer numbers.

I havenīt been on here for quite a while but as I am still running (and very pleased) with my 25 Outlaw,so this seems as good a place as any to say hello.

67 mph is what I got from the stock 496HO power, a good 25 four blade and light chop.

75 mph is where I was with a 525 EFi.3" lift extension box, hydraulic steering and full size tabs had all helped to make the little 25 into a giant killer.

I saw good 80 + figures (84 mph) with my 600SCi using a shorty and a slippery 32" four blade. But I started to lose the plan a little, as chasing top speed took away alot of what the 25 Outlaw is really about.

I discovered that with standard length XR (on the 3" lift Ext) and a 26" Maximus I had the best of both worlds. 80 mph, amazing rough water ability right up to that speed, and good mid range driveability.

The 600 is in itīs 7th season and has run flawlessly 170 hours. The 12 year old hull has 480 hours on it, and still looks like new.
Hope this helps.
