    .

    if the sump is dry and thus the presence of an oil pump(or 2), then it would mean that the oil holding/storage tank can be relocatable.

    option1: inside the mids
    option2: inside the boat(Gary)
    option3: inside the cowling somewhere
    option4: at the transom

    cooled by raw-water

    How real is the 15" 400r. I'm seriously considering buying a 400r. Is this just a pipe dream to get 15" outta the factory

    Hate to say it but until x cat announces officially that the verado is going to be the motor of choice and all of you guys want to place orders it will never happen. Mercury will not make them without a need. SBI guys here voted for the 300xs as their motor of choice for next year.

    X cats should be running them in the 2017 season according to the race commentator. As they are going to lengthen the boats by a couple of feet due to the weight difference of the verados.

    What's the word on this option from an article in SOTW:

    To enable the 300XS to run the more-desirable 15-inch-midsection—and in the process drop the weight difference to approximately 100 pounds—Porta said he has developed a replacement exhaust plate that he will provide at cost to other racers who would like to run 300XS outboards.

    Nothing if you want to run 3 of them----

    No one wanted to go slower then then the 280s. Gary and Kyler are going to be very fast with 300XS motors. Looking forward to seeing the show.

    This doesn't make sense to me, a replacement exhaust plate to run a 3.2 on a 2.5 15" mid/gearcase won't work. The 2.5 water pump in the 2.5 gearcase won't pump the necessary volume of water to keep a 3.2 cool. They need a replacement 15" mid like the Wayne Taylor piece. I just wrapped up the second season on my 15" 3.2s w/ 3.0/3.2 gearcases and haven't had any problems. My setup would work perfect on the Stock Class boats. They still won't be as good as they are with the lightweight, high revving 2.5s, but the 3.2XSs will keep the class alive for many years to come.
