Re: who will win.
Boats are very equal in lenght,, 25 outlaw is 25 while the 272 is 27 w/ swim.. I just looked at the weights and the o.l. is 4,750 while the 272 is 4,400 so I would run LIGHT on fuel and you should be ok.. That H.O. has a bit more torque than the 502..

Re: who will win.
This is a tough call. I believe the hull design of the 272 is that much different from the 25 that it will depend on the water conditions. I think the 25 will win in rough water, but the 272's are lighter and the hull wants to ride higher in water versus slicing through it. I owned a 25 with a 502 and I do think it will be a close race. If they are both bone stock down to the prop, he may have you. I know that is not what you want to hear .
Let us know how it turns out.

Re: who will win.
Have you ran your boat yet ?
You may want to get a little bit of seat time before you go out and run that thing balls to the wall in a race. Don't want to be reading about you on Monday....... Plus with a bit of seat time you will find your sweet spots in your drive and tab settings.

Re: who will win.
I had a 97 272 w/ 502 mag. Ran 64-65. My 01 25 Outlaw w/ 496HO ran 67. Your 25 runs much better in the rough than his 272 also. That boat is very easy to drive. Just get out your GPS, keep trimming it up till it won't go any faster. Unless it's rough, then find the sweet spot and leave it. I left my tabs at level with the bottom and never touched them. What prop are you two running?
