Hey guys,
Sounds like the Outlaw will definantly ride better than the 24 and 260. I didn't think those boats rode bad so the wife should be really happy with this. The cuddy is a little small but it should be good enough to get our two kids out of the sun a while. The speeds you told me to expect should keep me happy for a while :>)
I hope to look at the boat again this week and will keep an eye out for all the things things you pointed out. I did check for play in the steering and is seemed to be ok. The only thing I would add to it is hydrolic assist. The guy also said it has the 1.36 gears. Would that change much performance wise over the 1.50? Right now it is running a 21 Mirage prop. Would it be worth it to change to a 1.50?
Allan4, we do most of our boating on the Ohio around Evansville, Indiana.

I would not worry about the 1.36 gear. You can change props around and that will make up for the difference. I would ask the seller why he changed the gears though. Not something you see alot in a 24 Outlaw. In theory, it might help top end.
As for the steering, We are exclusive dealers for XS Performance Marine. They specialize in high end steering systems, both Full Hydro and Add-on Assist. I can beat the pants off other high end systems as far as price is concerned (WPM, IMCO, Latham, Marine Machine...etc). Very good stuff. I will be happy to help you with this decision, just let me know, I will help anyway I can.
Go to this link to learn more about the systems and see pics.

SKOBOAT,
I have an 23' P Mirage Plus LABBED by Chad Hill Props. Also a pair of Rex Marine Exhaust Tips that would be a perfect fit for an 24' Outlaw. Both are in excellent condition and the exhaust tips are new in box. Anyone interested excepting offers.

skoboat, my 93 outlaw also has 1:36 gears. i dont know why but i am also running a 21 3 blade and the boat works the best with that prop. i bought a high dollar lab 23 and it made the boat slower at top end and a slug out of the hole. stay with the 21 you will get the best results.

Proman,
That's strange. I had two baja Outlaws both ran best with a 23" P prop. In fact a 23" P comes standard on the 24' Outlaw. Also I ran a 21" P with a 454 mag. it ran to high in rpm. When I switched to the labbed prop I had a gain of 2 mph. Which went from a top speed of 63 mph gps to 65 mph on gps. Anyway, if you buy my prop and don't see any positive results I'll take the prop back and give a full refund.

RICKOFF, DID YOUR BOAT HAVE A 1:36 RATIO? IF IT DID THAN YOU GOT DIFFERENT RESULTS THAN ME, BUT IF YOU HAD THE 1:50 RATIO IT IS PROBABLY RIGHT ON THE MONEY WITH THE LABED 23. I AM JUST GUESSING, BUT YOU PROBABLY DID NOT HAVE A 1:36 RATIO.

Props
Try a Rev 4 prop, Allan 4 runs this prop as well. I tried everything out there & the Rev 4 lifts the boat up & out of the water. I had the best overall results with these props.
