LES.....your to funny From what I have been told by Dave from DCB and many, many people the two motors are worlds different and you can not compare the two! I have gone back and forth on new and finding a used mach, but with everything I keep hearing I want to get the 300x! Not for the extra power ( dont need a 100mph boat, mid 80's is fast enough for me!)altough the extra bottom end tourqe would be nice.
all but one of the five 22's which ive inquired about with promax 300's have had the lower end rebuilt....hmmmmm why? they all have the "new" shafts. I have been told they are much more reliable in every way, better fuel economy,better reed life with the new carbon fiber reeds, better charging system, ect,ect....Now Les, please keep in mind this is what ive been told by SALESPEOPLE. I think you will be happy with either 300 you put on the back! But if your going to spend some big dough, spend the extra and get the latest and greatest....my .02
BTW.....yes DCB is saying mid 90's on the new 03 with 300x. I wish they were putting jackplates on these like the new cougar's are....
