    Got a coulple questions

    First, is the fuel tank in my 93 model the same as the newer ones? Read on the website that it’s 38 gal. Second question... what kind of fuel mileage do you think I will get? I am making a pretty long run and I’m sure it will make it, I am just curious as to what others get. I can tell you that I don’t plan on running it really hard, plan on staying around 4800-5000 rpms for most of the way as I can run high 70’s turning that. I am running a 300xs. What do y’all think I will get as far as mpg? Thanks guys

    Depending on setup and motor, 4 mpg with EFi or carb motor, 5 to 6 mpg with DFI motor. My 300XS actually burns less gas than my 250XS did.

    I’ve run 110 miles during a tournament early this spring and still had a few gallons left over. That was with a 250xs.

    If I remember correctly, a stock 300xs will burn somewhere around 27 to 28 gallons per hour at w.o.t..

    You can't run long or often at WOT with a 300XS on a Stroker. It's not often you even get 90 MPH water.

    150ish boats in the derby this weekend and I’ll be in the back of the pack heading out the first day. Surely won’t be 90 mph water on the first day for us lol
