18 Outrage Re-power with 250-HP
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2019 11:24 am
I am in the negotiation process on a 1986 Outrage that has a very nice Yamaha F115. My long time dream has been to put a 300-HP engine on an Outrage, but I think that might be too much--even though most of us has seen the Montauk video with a 300-HPDI on it.
In Florida slightly used 250-HP engines are very abundant as many buy a boat with 250-HP engines due to price, and a couple years later upgrade to 300 or 350-HP engines.
I know some have overpowered their 18 OUTRAGE boats with twin 90-HP and twin 115-HP engine. Can you share some performance with me?
Anyone else running more than 150-HP have some numbers as well?
My goal is 60-MPH so I can cruise at 35-MPH around 3,500-RPM engine speed or less.
I know a 150-HP will do roughly 50-MPH if setup correctly. If I can get close to my goal with a 200-HP or so I'm game.
Also how does [an OUTRAGE 18 with 200-HP or more] handle at speed?
I know an Outrage 18 at 60=MPH will be a short, insane ride.
