    300R V-8

    Who has or knows someone that has got a 300R and when did they order? When did they get it and where? Just curious.

    Basscat is supposed to be testing one on a boat of theirs, not sure if it's made it in yet or not...

    R models are about 6-8 weeks out if ordered today. Now that the season is winding down and boat builders’ orders are slowing, ProXS availablity is getting better too.

    This appears to be the case (though I currently am skeptical of the dates showing in the system). Since there are 26 separate 300R models listed, it's good to note that the projected dates vary by up to 45 days.

    ProXS Models are still backlogged- dealer will need to talk with Sales for projected ship dates.

    Who are y’all ordering these engines from? We ordered some R models in mid-August and they have already been delivered.

    I’d prefer not to drag the dealer I ordered from into this because I don’t know if it’s their fault or Mercury.

    Some of the model's dates on the 300R are pretty close out- so I suspect they have a production run coming up VERY soon. That is just an educated guess, though.

    Jaco's Marine just told me if I ordered now it would be 14-16 weeks for a 300R and April for a 300 Pro XS

    Ordered 300R 5/1 shipped around 10/1. Your dealer isn't the problem, I was told 6/18, at time of order, then 7/15,8/15,9/15 was ready to give up. They called said was on way.

    Damn that sucks!! I’m not sure how much longer i can wait!! It hasn’t been but a couple months and I’m ready to give up. How are you liking the new 300R? Was it worth the wait?

    Where did you order your new motor from?
