Bullet with new four stroke V8?????????

**stealthperf** · 07-31-2018, 12:11 PM

I have a 21XDC... I have a 1.62 Titus unit on my 225 sport xs and it seems to run pretty good.. Figured a sporty on the 300 for sure....

Don't know why they haven't offered a 250 or 300R with 1:62 yet

I think it's because they ran out of time before release. That 1.75 sportmaster is directly from the 400r and I think they bolted it on and ran with it. It works with the 400r because they don't have as much torque and have the higher rev limit

And these WERE dedicated SHO guys. Not any more!

Which model boat was it....

**Nocull0** · 07-31-2018, 11:23 PM

I think it was a SST with a 300r. Boat in picture above. Supposedly finding the right prop is the issue.

Thats what I am hearing, I mean 34 pitch props are not on every corner like a 28 or 30, I am curious to hear what the 1.62 lower does.

That 15.5x34 cleaver was a topend prop, not a fishing prop. You would need a 30 Promax or a 31 Bravo one for a true fishing prop on the 21SST/300R with 1.75 gears. The 1.75 gears are fine for fishing on all of the Bullet boats except for maybe the 20'ers. With the 20'ers you'd need to run a 31-32 pitch loaded to fish.

Paul, have you got to drive one?? What was it like compared to the 2 strokes?

**Nichols** · 08-01-2018, 12:46 PM

Yes I was the one who ran the 21SST/300R 103 MPH. I've run the 250 HP and the 300HP on a 21SST...the motors are very impressive. The 4 stroke 250HP will run pretty much the same speed as the 250HP 2 stroke, but have a better hole shot and mid range. The 300R is as strong as a 300X and has a great hole shot and mid range. The new motors are VERY smooth running motors.

I figured it was you, thanks for the info, are you still running a tritoon with twin 300's?.

**Ncfishman** · 08-01-2018, 02:00 PM

Paul Nichols has already posted numbers on this!

**stealthperf** · 08-01-2018, 03:35 PM

Always nice when "the man" throws his $.02 in..... Thanks Paul!!

**Bullet 250** · 08-01-2018, 08:08 PM

He is tha MAN!!

**minnowlimo** · 08-01-2018, 08:14 PM

**Bullet 250** · 08-01-2018, 08:21 PM
