Im looking at a '98 24' Outlaw with a 454/300hp according to the owner... Supposedly runs 50+mph in his listing... Thought this was kind of low??
What is the going speed for a 24 OL w/ 300HP and presumably stock prop?? And what better prop to go with, w/o giving up too much down low?
Thanks, Chris

Thanks for the followup Crossett... I am looking for a boat to be able to run in the 50s, low 60s without needing to be WOT. But a '98 24 OL thats overall decent shape with an asking price of $12k sounds like a good deal, no?

Sounds like a great deal. I wouldn't sell my 95 for 12k. The cruise speed on a 330 horse 24 OL is more like 35-40 though.

Thought I should follow up on this one since I've made some head way and learned some interesting things. I'll start with I bought the boat from my father in law who has more toys than he knows what to do with and definitly looses track of whats what. Its a 98 24 with 200 hours on it and it supposedly had a 502. I paid very short change for it (13K). So after putting a new 23P+ on the boat and being out and only hitting 52 at about 4400rpm thats all she had. Completly lost as to what is going on I decided to check my casting #'s as it just didnt seem possible that a 502 with 200 hours on it could be down on power, and low and behold, I have a 454! Which I think now completly explains everything. At this point I think I need to try a 23 without the plus (extra cupping) and even probably a 21 and a 21+. Anyone have any suggestions? I dont think my motor is the mag motor, any way to tell for sure?

Everything i've read on here leads me to believe that a 23P is too much prop for a 330 horse 454. But, I can turn my 23P 4 blade at 4700 rpm if the conditions are right, so I don't really know.
