Default Outboard Skater Gets New 300XS Cowlings

Just got all my decals on from Ryan Beckley for the new alien 300xs cowlings from Dave Bush Racing. Great job Ryan!! Working on motors and lowers now. Will post some test data soon. They are 6lbs lighter than stock also. What do you guys think compared to the stock ones?
Should add some ram air at 100mph+.

$975.00 dollars including decals. They solve the water problem and add ram air to pressurize the cowling. Yours are a good alternative but for me I like the overall look like a 300x. Glad to hear your selling some.

Not for long. I am working with Dave Bush Racing and will be some real world testing. I think he has a really good reputation and they are on to some serious horsepower coming in the future. Will let you all know how it works out. Hope to be running in a few weeks.

Just wondering if these vents would work on a 250 EFI. The intake on the cowls for them are worthless.

So you can simply bolt these cowls on and go boating and leave engine completely stock ?

I know the Mike nass cowl very well and nice work but I prefer the more modern sculpted linse of the XS cowl VS the old X design . Are the hand layed Fiberglass and gelcoat finished or injected plastic ?
