Andy, you will need jackplates to fine tune the engine height. but for low-budget running, may be able to go without them.

from the pics, it doesn't seem that the original owner used jackplates. Not sure if the 25" mid would allow you to install the engines high without the use of jackplates.

25" too tall. Talked to a few guys 20" is the way to go and use the 3rd bolt holes on the mid. No jack plate required. So now I need a 20" mid and a speedmaster gear case. Looks like double has what I need gear case wise.I'll pm him and look for a mid and a set of 28 cleavers.

There is a guy close by me that has a sportmaster lh with 1.87 gears best to pass as I thought the gear ratio of choice is 1.62?

3L So I'm guessing probably 1.87 due to the fact I'm not revving as high?

Just bought 1 300x, will I go in circles if the other engine is a 12v trolling motor? If so has anyone got another 300x as I hate bed spins!

.

contact the user: River Rocket over in SnF, he might have a 300X to sell you


read his thread: http://www.screamandfly.com/showthre...inator-Daytona

his quotes:

"I have a 300x"
"I will not respond to PM’s or posts about selling with the 300x. Call and we will talk. "

Geoff 612-599-0444

Additionally, keep scanning the classifieds in SnF as the information about the engine that you want is embedded in the ad and may not be easily seen. As an Example, Geoff is selling his boat, he just happens to have an extra 300X engine laying around in his garage that he may want to part with. Also in other ads, ask the guys who are selling their boats if they want to sell their 300X engine only.



300X engines are Yummy!
