No lake is huge. Many areas and miles to run. It is a great place to visit. Lots of fast boats also.
Not sure of the exact speed wasn't really watching speedo. It was in excess of 100mph. Was turning 34" Dewald 4 blades 6350rpm.

Depends on the load. Not as fast as the 300x powered Skaters, but nice to have a warranty and fuel mileage. Probably saved over $1000.00 the two weeks I was on vacation. Seems like the XS Opti's are about 6-8mph off the pace of 300x powered Skaters.
Motors make about 305hp versus 320hp for stock X no mods.

yeah the 300X will pass almost anything on the lake except the Marina$$$$ but is sure is fun to have your head snapped back at 80 when you hit the throttles. Have fun in your 28 nice vid.

The 300XS will accellerate Hard !! I am runing 14.75 x 32 worked by BBlades. I have run several runs against a friends 300x Skater, from dead stop to 105 we were side by side.My boat will hit 107 with those props, I think with 34 will do 111 like others here do.
I still miss my Diamond Marine 340hp 2.5`s 122mph !!!
