24 Twin Outboard
 

Anyone know this boat?

It's a 94' with twin carb'd 200's. I believe it is all original and the initial rigging was done at Ocean Outboard. The boat is currently in Md and I believe he is the third owner. From the pics he has sent me it looks to be pretty clean. I'm woring on having someone look at it for me in the next week or so, since I'm in FL.

Any specific areas of concern that I should look for?

Thanks!

I think that might be a guy from here and screamandfly named "sticks" you might want to do a search on that.

Thanks Mark, I appreciate the offer. I still know a couple of people up that way, and I think I can get one of them to look at it before I make the trip.

Yes, the owner's name is Chris and I've talked to him a couple of times and from I can tell, between the pictures he sent me and our conversations it appears the boat is all there. Just trying to get any additional info I can.

Also, any helpful tips on the 24's in general. ;)

Yup...
He is/was Gassticks here on OSO.
Nice boat.
Dave M may also be able to help you. I know he has run with and seen that boat...
Good Luck!

That was it-gassticks. My buddy Dave had one of those and is very knowledgeable, he goes by djtalon on here and on www.cbpba.com PM him and I'm sure he could help you out, I know he ran the crap out of his :D

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

I haven't spoken to Dave directly, we've just emailed a few times back and forth. He's who put me in touch with Chris. :D :D :D

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

that boat was owned years back by OSO member JackL...he comes on the superboat forum once in a while....it was super mint when he owned it....

what kind of number is he looking to get for it....

i could help you out with a good surveyor in that area if you would like as well

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

Yup, that's Gassticks boat. Dave (djtalon) had one too but he sold it.

I Think Its The First One Ive Seen Without A Bow Rail.

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

i am not too sure i like the no bow rail thing...the rail kinda gives it character...also something to hang on to when you are up there tying off.....

are those photos recent..it looks clean i can say that for sure....

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

Thanks for the extra pics Dave. :cool:

I talked with Chris (Gasstticks) last night and we're just trying to setup a time for a friend of mine to look at it up close. Hopefully within the next week or so I will know if I'll be taking a trip up north.:D

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

why is he selling it??????

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

I think he's wanting something a little bigger. ;)

Hey,

I bought Daves boat and it is still running well! Living in SE PA and running on the northern part of the Chesapeake. I can try to answer any questions you may have.

Good to hear that the boat is still running well, Did you put alot of hrs on it last year? If i were to do it all over again i probably would not of sold the boat!

Dave,

If I had to guess I probably put 30 - 40 hours on her over the summer. I gave the trailer a good going over once I got it up to PA, it needed some attention, replaced the springs, rewired it, installed four radial tires and moved the axles back on the frame whiched helped with a lot of the issues towing. I can easily tow from 65 to 80 with the extra tounge weight from moving the axles. Installed a new stereo with a sub and kept her clean. She is residing under a full cover now.

I guess you have had some issues with the Fountain that you bought.

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

no issue, just miss the fun of that boat. That boat handles very well and has incredible acceleration in the midrange.

Re: 24 Twin Outboard
 

Dave,

It is a fun boat and yes the mid range punch is incredible. I ran through some nice smooth rollers one day with four people in the boat, catching every other one. My good friend commented on how when the boat would come back down to catch the next wave, he was amazed how he could feel the boat accelerate and push him back in his seat. She is a lot of fun!

I have a few projects planned for this winter that I need to get going on but it has been so warm that it took a while to really want to winterize. I had it all done and then ended going out one more time over new years. Had to do it all over again.

John

did you ever buy the boat???????

no, he bought a 24 pantera

not just any 24 pantera... ;)
even though its not a SB, he got a good boat.

whos 24 did he buy? Pantera's are great boats; where was it located?

why, he bought my old one. :)
He's down in Central FL.
He's pulling 78 out of it now w/ 1/2 a tank. Not sure if thats GPS or not.
He'll be trying a new prop.

We checked the speedo last time out against the GPS and it was less than 1 mph out. ;) That JC motor was screaming though (5700-5800 :eek: :eek: ), hopefully this new prop will drop the R's down a bit. :D :evilb:
