(2) 300xs's and should run 101 to 103 ish and great on fuel. Franks runs well and is a FMO member. Im sure he would give you a ride.

Im 90% sure its the same as Franks. 350's wont run well becasue the gear case is not ment to be surfaced like a sportmaters on the 300xs. Also on the 300xs the mid section is different a little more surable. Not saying it cant be done but I wouldnt recomend it. They run so well with 300xs's why mess with it.

Gotcha
Had a 32 Skater with 3 300s but was in the day that the tanks were failing . Azzpain.
Put bladders in but by then I was so Pizzed off that I got rid of it for my 43 Nortech.

But it ran great. Loved it.

The ones in Blumes pics are gorgeous.
