deckofficer, member in this thread, JPEROG, owns that hull and can fill you in on its details.

Looks like an LCB sport deck to me. I think those are 20'.

I apologize for hijacking Randy's thread. I'll start a new one. As with most on this thread, I'm interested in the performance of the 300R. My guess is with the 40% higher torque it will have a better hole shot over other outboards in its class. Just waiting for Randy's review.

My apologies as well Randy. I should not have dropped that into your thread. Post deleted.

The LCB Hull will dominate everything with a 300R behind it.

Might work on a 24 Twister

Wednesday is the BIG DAY!! Got all my props and correct steering lines today. Heading to the lake with the 300R boat and Green 25 Liberator in the morning. We have 5-6 props to test on the 21 and a pair of new 34" BBlades Blaster props to try on the green 25. The 25 was feeling a bit loose over 100 mph so I swapped cases to turning in. I always had them turning in on my other 25's and the boat felt real solid up to 115. We will get top end numbers and 4000 rpm cruising speeds on all the props.

So cool, good luck and be safe, look forward to seeing the results!

**Double Rigged** · 07-17-2018, 07:34 PM

Randy, be safe. That motor actually looks pretty good on the boat.

**Greg G** · 07-17-2018, 07:36 PM

I thought the same thing. Looks like it's ready to eat!

**WILDMAN** · 07-17-2018, 07:52 PM

JPerog and Z06Man are going with me. Gonna shoot some video too!

Looks like a Transformer

Nah, looks like a horse head. I’m gonna order one in fusion white and epoxy a big brass pointed cone over the first zero, call it The Unicorn. Maybe add some pink highlights for full effect......
The shape of the motor from the front is actually starting to grow on me already. Can’t wait to see what king of numbers it lays down.
