brad, whats the fuel capacity and range on this?

please tell how the Opti compares to the old school outboards from your exp

Larry

The 300xs is an awsome eng. It shifts smooth, idles ,accelerates hard, burns alot less fuel! I had 280 2.5`s and 340hp 2.5`s.The 300xs along with the smartcraft system view or race view is the perfect set up. Although I blew one at 26hrs,I believe it was "Bad Luck" and the 300sx is a very reliable , strong,efficient motor.

Thanks , that is what I 've been hearing . I will have two new 300 Opti's next spring , Santa told me so !!!!

seriously brad, i'd be interested in this kind of setup, instead of outboards, but am not sure about the range the lower mpg will restrict it to. can you give me an idea?

thx

New deal....... $85,000 no power. Sell with or with or with out power.

As for mileage I have never really checked. The 525's in a cat are really easy on gas. I never fill it up as it hold 200 gals. I can cruise at 3000 rpm at 60 mph. Estimated 2 mpg gives you a range of 400 miles at cruise speed. I burn about 50 gals every two weeks. I boat about three time a week, but not real long runs. The last Poker Run we burned 1/4 tank (50 gal) of gas in 80 miles running hard.

thanks for the info
am i missing something? 85 for the boat and 40 for the 525's ???

Is that with or without the 6's?
