300xs vs 300x vs 400R vs Caldwell Billet 2.5

[aggiestckl]

If initial money was not a considering factor, however down time and repairs cost are considered what would you choose and why?

[AZMIDLYF]

In to hear the reasoning

[powerabout]

Id like to see a dyno comparison of a stock f1 and a caldwell 2.5

[Speed Jr.]

All depends on the boat your putting it on......

[aggiestckl]

Let's say 21 skater

[Frank Molé]

a warmed up x

[LongShot]

21 Skater = 300x. Simple, reliable fast. 850# boat and lighter go CRT, Pleasure, cruise, fish go 300XS. Know nothing about the 4-strokes....yet.

[Mr. Demeanor]

A new XS with a warranty

[StratosVT]

Thats like comparing a house to a condo or a houseboat.....don't understand the comparison. I can see comparing the x to the xs but the others don't have much in common to the 300's or each other.

[powerabout]

2.5 clearly for light boat going fast

[Chaz]

3600ccx

[Bodhi]

300x........it's like the king of the jungle

[whipper]

Hmmm very interesting hypothetical hear. Only because even with the 300X and its 325-335 hp stock power plant i would wonder if a twin 300x 21 skater would be faster or {Quicker} than a twin 400 hp CRT? Im thinking not simply because of the power to weight plus the revs and smaller wheel would eat the 300x in a drag race? Top speed ill have to think any way the crt would have that edge also. Ill tell ya this much thats a race i would pay money to watch over and over again. I dont think the 400R belongs on a boat under 26ft unless your looking for an anchor.

Next years x cat might be running seven marine engines.lol

on a euro a 2.5 that's what the whole was built around ,, if you read the history on the euro anything else really kind of a mistake !!! ,,,I know its not a skater but I have no idea about that and wanted to put in my penny,, 5 in the morning nothing else to do
