[Merc1100sc]

or 300xs sportmaster? How much are these going for new and wheres the best place to buy them...

thanks..

The 250XS around 15K give or take 500 bucks and the 300XS should be around 17K give or take 500 bucks, shop around, weigh out the benefits of driving 1000 miles to pick one up versus buying local and maybe paying more up front. ;)

Thanks for the replies guys..
IM looking at putting a pair on a 30 Spectre..

Do you guys recommend I get the offshore versions or non-offshore..
also, what is the standard warranty on these motors.
I read somewhere that its 2 years standard extendable to three, and ive also been told its only 1 year extendable to three. which is correct?

thanks....

Not sure about your application, personally I like the non offshore for the higher limiter. I guess it depends on how you prop it.

is that the only difference in the two?
i figured the offshore had a beefier center section.

Weight (lbs / kg) (L) 505 lbs. (229 kg) (XL) 517 lbs. (235 kg) (XXL) 534 lbs. (242 kg)

They only list one weight for the 25", I would figure if they had a beefier mid they would have listed two, but double check.

Hmm. good point. i called one dealer and they quoted my on the offshore and non-offshore.. i wonder if he knew what he was talking about.

I'll take a stab at this one. Will confirm at work on monday.

25" non-offshore is the production clamp bracket (intragrel trim) and a torque master gearcase. Built for walleye boats.

25" offshore has the heavy duty clamp bracket with wing plate mounts and trim pump in the boat. Built for multi engine boats, comes with the fleetmaster gearcase, although I think you can get the sportmaster for cat boats.

Hope this helps.:cool:

What Florida dealers would give the best pricing on a 300XS?

[Massbasser]

I heard the 250XS was going to have a 1500 dollar price reduction to distance itself from the 300XS a little. Is this true? Anyone confirm this?
