Question

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

Thinking about trading my motors in...

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!

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 !!!!!!

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.
