What do you think a Scarab 302 would run with twin Mercury Optimax 300XS motors?

Thinking about trading my motors in...

1999 302, twin 250 Johnson Ocean Runners , 23" Mirage plus 59mph (light load) 57mph (w/Full Fuel)

Sold (not missing the 2 strokes) . Nice boat/Hull

I have a Powerboat review from 1999 and the 302 w/ Promax 300's ran 69.7,
I have 225 Opti's, I know there a different block than the 300 but they do not smoke at all, I think people say 2 stroke and think smoke but any DFI doesnt compare to the old EFI's and Carbs, Thanks to BILLR I have a Port Supply card and get approx 25% off my DFI oil!

Pete, can i get a copy of that review?

Can you do anything to make them faster???

I think a 19 pitch on a 250 Yamaha OX66 is too little of pitch?


Lets see some pictures Gino !!!!!!

Now I am curious if I should raise my engines one or two notches. Will have to look at teh configuration.

Sure Bill, I'll scan it and email, cant ever give up my old magazines,

you have to be a paying member to post pic's or you can email to a paying member to post or open a photobucket account and post the link I think.
