260 or s3000?

[leapingtigr]

what would you do cost is not an issue...for all out reliability, speed and low maintenace...s3000 or 260...deciding what to put on my river rocket..pros and cons or comments from owners would be appreciated

Buy a drag or s3000, 10 barrels of race gas and go for it! :thumbsup:

I would say if you want reliability get a 280 and you will have both! My opinion!

How heavy is your rocket, 280 is a great choice, :)

boat weighs 680 lbs...just wondering if the drag is too much in terms of lake friendly and belongs only on the drag course

I ran a drag on my STV euro for 2 or 3 years and I ride alot! Never had trouble :rolleyes: except from people that say you can't do that and it live :p If you know hi perf motors you should have no problem.. remember race gas only!!!!!!!!

All 3 engines mentioned would be a great choice, but the 260 will be the slowest on Your hull... The Drag is nasty on a light boat, but a 280 with 16 amp electronics is nothing to dismiss as a push-over... good luck

Howard,

Go, either drag or 280. I had the drag on mine at West Lake, and am still putting my 280 back together, which I have both elec's for.

Kevin :thumbsup:


280, w/280 elec's will give the least fine tuning.
