650 r 625

[DTS]

I wouldn't expect anyone to run a Sporty on a 650, other than you with all that HP. The 625 is a different animal. The hull has tons of natural lift and it doesn't rely on the lower unit for added lift. There has been some 625s sold with the new 300R with Sportmasters on them. The biggest issue will always be set up issues with new components and the new Sporty has shown to be hell to set up on a bass boat. It can be done though IMO on a 625. It will just take work, time, and money.

How are the 625's / 300R with a sporty setups running? I do remember that combo being sold from I believe Horizon Marineo over a year ago. And I know of one person with a 625 300 Merc ProXS V8 and no power poles running 84-85 ish supposedly.

I haven't heard any numbers with the 300R. The 625/300XS was a 87-88mph boat and low 90s was doable.
