New to spectre , 30 outboard speed with 2-300x.
Sold my 32 Skater and looking for super clean 30 Spectre Outboard with no power , curious what the common top speed is with pair 300 x and also what gearcase ratio as well as if a 15 inch mid will work . I have several engines here to choose from .
Thanks Larry |
I had a 2005 with 300X's and it ran 102-106.

X2 what Andy said on speed. Most 3.0 or 3.2 liter sportmasters will be running 1.62 gears and a 15 mid is not going to be the best choice since there is no splash well.
|
Transom is too tall for 15" mids. Should run about 105 but will depend on load ofcourse
|
I am running 103-105MPH with fuel and people. Light on fuel with 1 person 107.5MPH. That is with 300XS Opti's.

definitely no 15" mids
as don't want to set them back far there was 1 for sale recently that had 15" 280s and the top deck was all busted up from being trimmed up too many times into the deck 20" on 4-6" jack plates |
Before I converted my 30 spectre to triples it ran 107 with twin 15" mid 2.5 drag motors
I had no problem whatsoever with the 15" mids |
15" mids are great for lower gravity
just cannot trim em much on 4" jacks if u want to beach it as the boat I stated about he definitely didn't care if they hit that's a given to bust up the deck the way it was |
