Twin OBs on a 24?
 

Well, I read the thread about twins on a 21- anyone done it on a 24?

I have seen one that idles past me occasionally in the state channel here on LI looks like it has twin 200's, and I saw it blasting by once in the bay, looked good. But no real experience with that set up, either from doing it or seeing someone with it

Personally, now that I have a 24', I wouldnt do it. You can get a good 300 HP engine that would push you 70-75 and not have to deal with the hassle of retroffiting rigging for a twin application. Plus, I know mine has a 58 or 59 gallon tank and I can bust through that pretty quickly if I want to, with twins, I would think you would want the bigger tank, which would layer on a whole other set of headaches when re rigging it

I guy on OSO named Gassticks used to post here. He had a 24 w/200's. I think it ran about the same speed as a single 300 or BBC.

I "heard" there was an incident involving a 24 w/twins yrs. ago and they tried to sue John/Superboat. I'm sure someone will correct me if that is not true.

Gassticks boat was nice.

"incidents" are never good, take it from me.

No need for twins on a 24' Super IMHO. A 250-300HP single outboad or a 320-470HP I/O is the best power.

I remember that boat, was a nice set up

difficult to drive if not setup absolutely perfect, stern heavy, unsafe.....

at least thats my opinion from the two with twins that i have run....the boat is simply not designed for twin outboards....a good 300 and you will get close to the same speeds and the boat is better balanced and better handling.....

Good info...
