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.

Default 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.

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
