300xs stock = vagina! You have taken a thought, and a great one at that and thought outside the box=vagina. Its nice to know your twats 300 freeken x es will be faster than a 300xs lezbo hole...Rock on thinker and do'er...

huh?

well I kinda like my two vagina's lol... they come with warranty and I can get new ones when they are used up from running them hard :whistle::lolhit:

Andy, what the ....???

Can we just go ahead right now and make this the OB Skater post of the year? I can't even imagine someone topping this one, regardless how drunk they get.

Should someone contact Outboard Protective Services at some point? Im a little torn.

I agree with you guys WTH?
He gets my award!

well my computer shows it was a 11:42 pm post...if that's true there may be a few explanations for it IMO... this :food-smiley-009: or this :bong: or maybe even his :food-smiley-009::bong: LOL!

I agree, I'm getting ready to put a new pair on my 28.

I'm not sure what my wife's gonna think? :-)

That's to funny ! I will smile now every time I turn around an look at the x motors hanging on the back

I don't know about you guys, but I don't think there is any way I could feel comfortable leaving Andy alone with my outboards.

One thing after another and yes a post here. Woke this morning, fuzzy, grumpy, heart pounding and thirsty? What did I do? This was the mildest thing, lol. I do like those v-jay jay things but I don't know what the comparesen was. Last night every thing made sense, today not. Forgive me my Skater Bro's. I'm human, well most of the time. Bro is still in town, chicken wings and beerz tonight. Hope we are all cool. Regards your Canadian Bro.... Oh yeah, just remembered, I think I was pissed that someone dissed Ron regarding a waste of time on the build of 300x. "I'm still amazed you went through all this trouble Ron". He tried and sucseeded on building engines no longer made by Merc. The diss made, thats it! Now I remember, lol...

Andy, that was the best hijack ever. We cool?

[QUOTE=Andy;4253278]I don't think any one got their p*ssy hurt over your drunk post:ernaehrung004:

Andy no worries appreciate the support! We all need some good humor from time to time. We are all ego driven big boys with LITTLE motors having fun. All you guys have been great and it is nice to have a place to share our passion for a great sport and hobby!! :boat:

It got a good laugh out of most of us Andy my Velocity brother. I don't drink much anymore but Johnny Walker of any color is a friend of mine. I used to carry a pint when hiking in my younger days.

We all definitely look forward to your "Xperiment" results Ron! I know you're as technical as any of us, and will have accurate data when you get all your comparison notes compiled. While you're doing all that, I'll just get back to running my "vagina" powered 118mph (so far) 28......... :)

fixed it for you. :-)

Hay Ron nice project lets start a pool on the speed increase give us the best speed from the xs and will go from there $1.00 pool

waiting...:popcorn: LOL

Been busy working on boats going in the show! No time for boating until next weekend when we go to the Keys to see the all hardware in action. Looking forward to hopefully seeing some nice outboard Skaters come out.
Time to show off all those big MPH Numbers you all talk about!!!!
In honor of Kirkland I am starting off with FULL FUEL Tanks !!!!!

figured you were busy with the show. wish I was going...lots of people from my area going so between you guys and them I should see everything new that I would want to see if I was there in person...well most everything anyway LOL.

Well, I'm using 35 gallons a side, that should do 250 miles:flag:. Should be great fun, keep fingers crossed for great weather.
The boat is ready to go, like me. It has been a cold winter here, it was 37 last week.

It was 70* here last Sunday with 16 mph winds then in the 20s' as a low this week.They are calling for 57* with 22 mph winds here Saturday. I hope to get out and enjoy the rough again this weekend. Enjoy that beautiful green beast!

Did someone get lost in the Key's???:D

You didn't take the 28 out on the MBS PR did you? :eek:

I went down, checked in, looked at the 3 foot waves rolling into the boat basin, then went for a Rum Runner. The winds were from the north at 30 plus mph. It was Cold. I was wearing a Ski jacket and still cold. Boating is supposed to be fun, so I left the next morning and went home. Yes that is seawater splashing in 15 feet onto the glass.

Going to try again for this weekend. Hopefully Sunday if work does not get in the way....

I thought our "Florida Brothers" just boated ALL THE TIME. What gives? You guys must have to w#rk and stuff too....:popcorn:

LOL!
I didn't see the boat, that's why I ask. There was someone running a OB cat (maybe a 30 Motion or something similar). He ran the run, but it had to be one ugly ride for the poor guy! :D

Thats the water I wait for all year. It's a blast to run in if your properly dressed.

Let's go back and celebrate Tax Day on April 15th. Hope the weather is better then.

Went to keys today to run boat. Had one of the worst boating days ever.
Started out with 1-2' waves due to wind. Port motor has a mass airflow sensor fail. Got TPI switch alarms at WOT on both motors. After prop change 25 miles from boat ramp running back broke fwd clutch dogs port motor. Boat does not plane on one motor with cleaver props. Found reverse gear ok. Idle for hour and found sand bar. Install right hand prop on LH rotation. Put motor in reverse and use it to get on plane. After running 40mph on one engine 6miles from ramp run stbd tank (good motor) out of gas.
Idle with port motor 20 gallons left in reverse with R/H prop to ramp. Got boat on trailer around 6:00pm.
Repairs/gear case swap tomorrow. HP Boating at its best!!!
I love this sport.

Gremlins really suck!!

Cold beer, hot steak time. Glad you made it home safe...

300 XS, reliable stock power, put new ones on when the warranty expires👀👀👀👍
Sorry for the bad luck, it could happen to any of us. You will get it sorted out.

I hear ya buddy. No pain no gain as they say! I have blown up my share of XS powerheads as well as welll as lower units too. I have to say though the motors pull very strong looking forwad to getting it back on the water. I can tell you this guys I am buying a set of small 25 pitch round ear props and mounting them up front for when you go on those long runs. I will also say the motors are like I expected fuel hungry especially with the hgher RPM's.

time to put the xs mtrs back on

Wow Ron! Tuff day at least! Hope the kids were not around. My mouth would have spewing four letter words equal to the rooster tail from those "X's". Keep up the good work. I know you will work in out. Bring your boat to "God's country" and rid yourself of all that pain. LOL, David

I was lucky no wife or kids! Just me and my buddy Tom. All in all the motors are great. I am just going to go ahead and replace both MAP sensors and possibly the TPI's if we do not find anything on the computer when we check it out. I did see in the Mercury service manual that with the faults I was getting the motors were cut back by gaurdian mode to 80 percent. If what we experienced is with 80 percent than you XS guys better watch out! LOL
As for the gearcase oh well its not like they dont blow up.
