What would be a good combination to repower a 30' Superboat with?
ProMax 300x's, ProMax 225x's, or OptiMax 250x's. What are the costs of these outboards, and how fast will the boat run with each of them?

Thank You, Kirk

Go Inboard.496 Package

SUPERBASH

Go Outboard. (haha). I'm a MERC man. "A WOLF amongst sheep"... "Kill a Yommy for Mommy".....but man those 300 HPDI's are sweeeeeeetttt! Low rpm's, regular gas & extended warranty. I would consider them. JC has a 34 CC(ssshhhhhh) maybe one day it'll be Yamaha powered. P.S. ZZ: I know you can go from I/O to O/B, but how do you re-power an O/B with an I/O?...... Is that where Tripps and a sawzall come in?

Superbash,
I think you got us I/O guys there.
Not nearly as many I/O Superboats built before the mid 90s.
But now...
Has JC even built a Y2K with outboards?

tripps

Hey,dont make fun of my sazzall,its gas powered,10 teeth per inch,cuts very fast!! almost as fast as a SUPERBOAT or a velocity,which was goin 70 to nite Tripps

****,
I was gonna go out tonite. F***. Call me anytime you go out after noon. I"m home 3 pm later and ready.I got your #. I'm doing a job at Bergen Pt. and seen a white 21' something this morning coming out of Babylon hadda be runnin' 80+ and then outta same canal comes what looked like a Skater w/twinns blow by him. Do you know who I'm talking about (Shoulda had my camera)

tripps

Hey Bash,what you doin at bergen?? I live one canal east of it,dont blink cause you might miss it,there is a square house on the corner and i'm 7 houses in on the west side,but if its low tide and you have low water pickups,you'll be sorry like me when the seaweed packs up your cases,see you WED ,the door is always open tripps

The older 30's ran great with outboards and i/o's. If you have a full transom boat with brackets you can run either.The engine compartment is lagre enough for a big block with a tranny but you mite need to move the gas tank forward. I believe the tank in the outboard boat was further back. Cutting a hole for a bravo is easy then you need to make motor mounts. The new 496HO package works well and will run 70-75. Outboards twin 200's=70 250's=76 300's=82 300x's=88 .
