I would guess it was a pretty fast boat with the stock engine because I can't see his engine putting out more horsepower than 400. I could be wrong, but the mph increase between stock and modified would tell us. How about it Baja 24? How much faster is it now?

24ft Baja

yaa its got a little more than 400 but i realy dont care what the number is i just want to go faster with that i have, and its a 24ft baja with a 25 14.25 prop and turning 5800 rpm where should i go far as pich i dont know much about them and tring to learn more so i can go faster mph and how fast will that boat go any way some what safely LOL I know of other 24ft that are not even close to me (24ft 496=72mph)stock

24ft Baja

when i got it it went 67 mph befor i did any thing to it and it was not all stock when i got it someone befor me had been in it . It was ovel port and i got the performer rpm aluminum heads and intake, boarded it to a 468 and a roller cam with wet headers if i was to guess the hp it would be 450 -500 but thats not what i want to know .
what are other 24ft boats runing mph and rpm that i would like to know
ps how many 454 came with rectangangle port heads and aluminum intakes and what was the hp numbers on them ?

Dennis Moore

The 454 with rectangle heads made 365 horsepower as compared to the oval port head engines that made 330.
Sounds like you are making more than 400 horsepower with a speed increase of 8 mph!

24ft Baja

Thanks my new time for the weakend 76.8 mph little better

Droopy

LMAO.... 400hp....

632, 632, 632, 632, 632, 632...............

= Way more speed than you can handle........

24ft Baja

I tried a biger prop and all it did was lower the rpms by 600 rpms and went the same speed ?

Droopy

How big was that one?

JaayTeee

Was the prop you tried
the 27 four blade ?
I tried a four blade on mine
and lost top end.
( wouldn't carry the bow, more
wetted area )

These boats need bow lift,
so I would say try a 27p
3 blade.

24ft Baja

FYI yust got it off the dyno mad 536 tork and 513 HP @ 5500 not bad for a 468. needs more cam falls off bad at 5600. I changed the carb body to that pro form piched up maybe 5 hp tried My RPM intake mad more tork on the way up but the old sigal plan that sets cruked mad just as much power with lower egts timing liked 36 added a 1 inch spacer lost 15 hp on the singal plane but get this put on my air cleaner it picked up 13hp
