Anyone run 300 Mercs on a 32 DW Yet?
 

Or "mod" 280's? what kind of performance and speeds are you getting?

Loan Shark was converted to 300xs's when it was turned into a open top pleasure, there was a thread with the speeds and props somewhere about it.

The DW can run 120 plus with stock 8200 280's how fast do you want to go?

a little birdie told me that a certain 32 dw runs 105-108 on the rev limiters with 300 xs's

300xs
 

I own the 32 with 300xs. 3 people and 70galllons of fuel 106-108 with 3 blade 34's on the limiters. 109 with 2 passengers


I stretched it to 113 with 30 gallons and just me on the limiters.


I am currently working on larger props but have not spent to much effort ($$$) on it. 33' 4 blades offer amazing acceleration and 105 top end with 4 passengers.



The boat really shines in 3ft seas which is what I like to run over 90 in.

The 300xs is a great motor but it starts retarding the timing at 6150 and shuts down after 6300.

Fuel economy is astronomical.

fuel mileage
 

dan what kinda of fuel mileage you getting??

I do not know miles per gallon but I can run most of the day on 60 gallons. I recently ran a poker run on only 37 gallons.

If you back off and run 85 the fuel economy really goes up.



Great 100 plus package

fuel
 

i'm getting about 2 miles a gallon with the bblock cruising at 100 with 33pitch props.

Dude -- that is OFF THE CHAIN!!! Green with envy....:evilb:

dan's the man for sure... !!!

Dan I suppose if I let you try my boxes and a certain pair of garys props you might just find something.........:) teasing!

GB'S wheels rocked and he was quick to reclaim them!

I have a feeling that your new 4 blades will be the ticket.



Bernie the door is open to my NJ bros.

DL

how bout your ct bros ? I want to check that bad boy out !

bring some 15x36's

yeah baby !

What 3 blade was you running? 14.5X34,14.75X34 or 15X34 I am putting the 300XS on my new 09 32' Spectre.
Thanks

Hello,

A buddy of mine has a 32 spectre with 300xs and it is a great boat.

15'x34 3 blade by bblades.



Jim has reun several sets of props on his and likes the likes 14.75' x 32 bblades 3 blade props.


sound like a great project!!!

Dan

Dan,
Thanks for the info on the props. I will have some testing to do but this is a start. How fast is the 32' Spectre running with the 15"x34 bblades and 14.75"X32.
Thanks for the info
Tommy

right at 100 with 102 best speeds

dan just want to say that is F@#$%n impressive for a 32ft boat ,what does that weigh . i have a dcb f-26 with some mods done to a pair of xs's and i'm still in search of the magical 110 but my boat is a barge !!!!

Dry 4,700lbs

I tried to build some 36 bravos but the boat did not like them. I recently bumped the rev limiters up to 6,550 now and with the 33 4 blades i'm on the limiter at 108 with 70 gallons of fuel and three passengers. Saw 111 by myself. My three blades died so I only have the 4yr old 4 blades that have been repaired many times.


I think the boat can still break 115 again but have yet to see it. I really love the motors and of course my Doug Wright.





I am going to build a set of 5 blades very soon.

Set up may help you break 110.
