Re powering 24 super!!
Hi everyone!!
I'm Andrew, Im from Southern California, I own a 24superboat with a 200blackmax.im looking to ur opinions pro's and con's on a new motor cause this needs a gear drive and it's slow compared to pops Y2k he had!!

I've had two 24ft similar v bottoms. A Pantera and a carrera 7mm.. Both had 468ci / 450hp trs. 75mph on a good day , low fuel , two people and empty cooler. The trs and big block weight twice as much as a o/b. Rough water hull. I would go with the biggest o/b you can afford. .

I'm sure the forums tallest midget will contradict me here, but being totally serious, id but twin Yamaha 300 vmaxx.. they can be had for $5000 complete and get it massaged by the guys at Hydrotec.. they are good bang for buck.. guys say they are underpowered but hydro pushes them near 400 for not much money
