    15” 300 XS in a 25 Talon?

    Anyone have any luck putting 15 mids (3 ltr) on a 25 Talon. They work well as we’ve seen on a 24 Skater but not sure I’ve seen them on a 25 Talon.

    The feedback I got was they may “wash out” the motor but that what I was told about my 22 Talon and what I would have expected from the 24 Skater.

    Just wondering if anyone has actually done it with 3 liters.

    thx

    Yeah, thanks thats what I saw also... made me ask the question. As my one point of reference here in Canada whom rigged a 25 with Twin 2.5ss said the owner kept "washing them out.... this was a few years ago and I can't get ahold of the owner to find out how it was happening.
    - Launching it
    - Coming off plane
    - other ...



    People had warned my 22 Talon would have that problem its been fine.. Always like to ask and learn from others experience.

    a 25 cat calls for twin whatevers. you wont see a single o/b on a 25 cat of any size normally. simply get some measurements & figure out if you can get away with it or not, if you are so inclined. gearcases behind sponsons always work better, as you know.

    Dave there's one in the Dorset/Huntsville area, RFCB might know him. Might be one of the Boothby's.

    Not a Boothby Boat. I know the boat but have not directly spoken to the owner. Believe his name is Bill. 25’ with 300X’s.

    Agreed not considering a single but twin 15” 300xs. I agree measuring is what l resort too just never hurts to ask if anyone else has first hand experience. I have to imagine if they are not an issue on a 24 Skater they shouldn’t be an issue on a 25 Talon.

    thx!
