you are right Chris, I have went to the north store and looked at there boat inventory, 6.2 and 496mag's are it, they had a guy on the casino run with a 29 with 6.2's in it, I would be mad if I had that boat, my H2x would outrun him, but hey its all in what a person wants, maybe someone out there only wants to cruise!!!!!

29 Outlaw - I have a 1999 29 Outlaw with a single 502 mag in it, 415hp. I love it for me and my wife, granted a part of me wants dual 502's for more control when I dock, but then again another part of me likes of the convienience of one motor (less weight so my existing 8000# hydro hoist picks the boat out fine, less fuel consumption, I only have to winterize one motor, I only have to change oil in one motor, my 1500 Siverado pulls it fine - I don't think it would with twins). Granted, I'm not a speed demon who feels the need to go 75 mph every hour I run the boat, but the boat planes up in a hurry with K planes (less weight) and it has plenty of power. I have not tested the speed of the boat yet (throttle burried) because I bought it late this year and had to winterize. But the two times I took it out prior to winterization I found myself cruising easily at 53 on gps with just over half throttle. I do feel sorry for the guy on the dock two slips down from me who has the same boat with a 454 in it, 330hp, now thats a dog. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

single engine 29's
I first saw a single engine 29 at loto in 1997 and had to do a double take. I wondered who would order one that way. After riding around in the giant washtub wakes it became clear. I assume they cost a bit less than a twin and handle the rough a whole lot better than a 25. Actually I have never seen a single engined 29 anywhere else.

Garshev - There are a fair amount of them down there. I know a guy across the cove who is selling one that has a 500hp in it. I almost bought it, but it wasn't as clean as the one I bought. That one pushed 65 easily. My previous boat was a 252 Islander, so you can imagine the difference in the ride now. Maybe I don't know any better, but my 29 sure rides a hell of a lot better that the 252 Islander. I actually aim for waves made by the big cruisers now instead of slowing down and trying to avoid them when I had my Islander.

I'm going down this Thursday and Friday just to get away drink some beer, stare at my boat on the lift and tinker around. I haven't heard about a Christmas parade but that doesn't mean anything. They may have one I don't know. I'm all winterized up and put away, so I'm in the same predicament you are. I know they do have a St. Pats parade of boats in March though. Thats not all that far off, as far as I'm concerned December is over, only about 21/2 to 3 months to go.
