how come nobodys done a y2k with twin 300xs's??? could it be done????? what would it run and would it be sweet????

A guy in Freeport has one. We added another fuel tank and did some work to it just before Christmas.
I believe his has 280's on it,and does in the mid to upper 90's.



And yes, it has a gas pedal.

Oh Geeeee Rick, I'm so glad to see your working hard

I just found these pictures of the Y2K outboard online.

Rick, cool photos, the boat looks nice, any more photos ??

That was all I could find. And I found them by accident

Wow the 30Y2K outboard is very impressive lookin' indeed.

Do you think she'll break 100 MPH with twin 350 SCi's ?

The only problem with that outboard is that it doesn't come with the Sport Master lowers.





noli

Rick, when was the boat built ?

the boat ran well but was a bit nose happy through the waves from my recollection and i think the weight of the new motors would kill the handling in rough water at high speeds......i personally would rig a y2k with a single I/O as most have been since its such a proven setup unless i was building a CC y2k then it would be O/B but not 300xs motors as they would be overkill....the 250xs motors on a CC would be the limit in my opinion.....i know that theres a ton of setup time in that O/B y2k to make it run as fast as it is now which i think is mid 90s.......i also remember it accelerating like a rocket....

Why would this be so, since most of the Tempests were outboards? Wouldn't the setup be basically the same?
