300r vs 300xs on same boat

[baja200merk]

I stopped by one of the best 2-stroke merc shops in the us if not the world. It’s right down the road. While talking about the new v8 merc (before they were unveiled) vs 2-strokes The owner said “both of my brp Seadoo 4-tec have 330hp 1.8l and 5yr warranty, apply that to the big block and it should make 700hp”. This was YEARS AGO....

If I had rotax in my back pocket 2-stroke would be out the window.

After having a 998 turbo triple sled with some tuning and minor add-ons from Jason Price, I would never consider going back to the big bore two strokes that we ran for 15 years...

Ive owned, modified, blown up, and rebuilt 2-stroke and 4-stroke PWC’s. Give me the 4-stroke any day. I still have a rock-solid reliable 2011 Yamaha 4-stroke to this day that’s only ever needed battery, oil, and spark plug changes.

Car motors are meant for cars .. and boat motors are mean for boats ...

The above post is 100% correct (the latest technology is expensive and it not required to be on the water and having fun)--but if we are back to comparisons of what is available then--

The way I see it is this. 1. If you are drag racing, you need a high twister and 25 year old tech (300 drag) and several variations of it still work great - No one can debate that. 2. If you can not afford to switch over to the new technology, (I fall in this group as well), then its not an option to experience new technology first hand. However, the little bit of exposure that I have had creates a real desire to change. 3. Otherwise, you need to support these sites as well: https://aomci.org/ because the outboard world isn't going backwards from here and the consumer demand for the new product validates that statement 100%.

It can't get any more simple then that--

I put a new bird feeder in the backyard for da Mrs. Couple days later, the lights went out. FPL wrapped a new fuse and swung it back in place. Next morning I saw a flash and something fall ... went over and looked , BBQ squirrel on the ground. They were coming to the new restaurant in town from, across the roof-tops, along the fence lines, and from across the street along the wire, over the transformer and "BOOM" another fuse ...
I moved the feeder to her island flower garden in the front. Now all they gotta worry about is the hawk that patrols the hood ...

Aye .. anybody gotz a light ..???
I gotta finish my break and get back to work ... Bait shop's payin a penny a piece for #1 worms. I been lookin @ this new 300R an I gotta get one before they are eligible for the antique outboard motor club ..
