The 300 promaxes are 2-strokes, right?

Whats the difference in the x and promax 300s?
All the info I can find on google is pretty skewed and unorganized..

as far as I know about 20hp and they turn higher rpm. They also have the newer stlye intakes. Usually promax blocks are painted black and x's aren't... for some reason mine aren't painted either...

The 300x's have different port timming, a little more compression and a different fuel injection system. The 300x's make around 340HP and the 300 Promax's make around 300HP. Both great motors.

You've got to love the racing history of this 24 and now the restoration. Its a great testiment to the tough Skater hull.

Also, throw out any opinions or perceptions youve had of the 24 or little known knowledge!

Are you looking for one? I know of one for sale here in Virginia.
