I have not personally seen the boat run but from another buddy of mine when they where at river ranch he lined up against another 24 with 2.5s promaxs or 260s and they raced to 100mph and verado boat had it buy 4 to 5 boats is what I heard. As soon as my ready I'm going to line up with him. When I go ride I'll get some video. I agree it can't be good touch water boat but I'm sure pretty soon he can turn those 350s to 400s and 800hp in 24 ft boat is no joke. Hope everyone has good mermorial day weekend and thank you if there any veterans in here.

There is no doubt that 700hp in a 24' boat will be fast. Please tell them to be careful. That boat with smaller motors was dangerous enough.
Thanks for sharing. Always nice to see what others are up to.
Happy Memorial Day to you guys as well.

I owned a 24 for many years and totally loved the boat! Ran it with 2.5's and it was a very well balanced boat.
Would fly straight and level but still there were times you could get in trouble under the right(wrong) circumstances and water conditions.
Just can't imagine a 24 with an extra 600 pounds hanging off the back of the transom!
Like others are saying, be extra careful and safe.

I'm bringing 2 gallons of rustoleum and 14 brushes, we'll need something to do while I'm cooking the tri-tips. ;-)

I'm more than happy to help as long as I only have to paint with one had so the other hand can always have a drink in it. Please make sure my wife is somewhere close by telling me how to paint also. Glad to be of assistance.

Anyone have a lead on what skater uses to trim out the bottom of the dash? Bought the boat without it and have no clue what was used originally. only thing I can find is rubber U-channel and I don't think that will look right.

Picture of my dash with the trim missing, any help/info would be much appreciated.

A good Upholstery shop should be able to make something that would attach with studs. We are going to have one made for the boat I am working on.
