300X

[santapaella]

e-tecs???? MERCURY FTW!!!!

[dunnfmx]

some trim can increase speed but too much will make you loose speed.

[davidsmythyahoocom]

Nearly everyone with a boat that has easy adjustments, like trim and jack, constantly experiments. On my boats, what worked was somewhat different in different conditions, but what is consistent is getting the prop out of the water means a LOT more speed. The fastest boats run with the prop shaft well clear of the waterline, only the bottom part of the blades in.

[phil656565]

ya know you gain alot more speed when your prop is actually in the water...

[MasterWitchDoctor]

My Hydrostream Viking would run off and leave you so bad its not funny.

[Dcamp200]

@MasterWitchDoctor Maybe on the river. In the bay chop, you'd get crushed.

[eeemanjam]

how much gas do these engine use in lets say a one hour driving at 45 knots ?

[MRinlines]

sounds like a 4hp

[bigmrclean]

Sweet! Man a good rooster tail is better than drugs!

[literbikedoc]

Nice merc - what prop?

[videowippersnapper]

Those big tubes in the front must be for the fuel.

[reflex0r]

ahhhhhhhhhh gimme a yammy all day.

[bronco9235]

4th... Trim ..He was playing around with the trim cant you all see this ???

5th ... A Chopper Is made to run out of the water and with Lwp (My bad )Low water pick.. this will not Burn a motor Up ... Maybe a 2 psi of water But should have Been around 10 psi At that give time ...

I can go on But once again this is youtube and Everyone knows something about nothing ...

Keep post vids of the motor Running hard ..I love read about what people comment and dont know a thing about motors ..

[bronco9235]

3rd.. Your Not going around a turn..BS .. you have Rubber mounts or Weak steering .. Going to lean on steering Because Your Running Bay star and Not Pro .

[bronco9235]

OK I have seen the Vid about 1000 times.. Love It Have the Same motor on a 17 action .. But thats Here nor there ..

Lets start with... Anyone that comments on youtube...Knows nothing about Fast boats...  Bayliner guy go Find A hole to live in it ..

This is Not hard if you know about fast boats

1st ... Running ?? a 26 to 28 big ear chopper

2nd .. Bob's Nose Cone ..maybe a Sportsmaster or CLE

[thebakuman77]

holy fuckin rooster tail that is beast lol wow cool

[keelsfamily]

Nice go but man u need to trim the outboard down

[tomphilbedge]

@keelsfamily Nope, he's demonstrating a rooster tail numbnuts.. Plus, a trimmed outboard will keep more boat out of the water to reduce hydro resistance.

[dslandrey]

that's good!!!!!!

[markd514]

Not a clue on how to drive that boat. You are way overtrimmed. I can see it by the angle of the engine. The boat is porposing. It is a potentially dangerous condition.

[Dcamp200]

It's the Egg Harbor River running towards Mays Landing.

[skyeric875]

@Dcamp200 It's not a river lol...irs a bay and your in the Great little egg Harbor bay...Youll probably see me around there heading to dredge beach! :)

[97Arran]

Is that Kings North power station i see in the back ground looks like the River Medway?

[Dcamp200]

I see you know a lot about outboards.

[bronco9235]

@Dcamp200 This man is right So stop posting something you nothing about 

[Dcamp200]

No.

[MirageOffshore]

Nope! it's never seen that dirty, hillbilly abused body oy water

[thorracer350]

if this is the same guy that goes up the mullica river his boats not that fast just throws a big rooster

[bjonakestonsmith]

this boat have power

[MirageOffshore]

My boat, my 300x, my friend trying to grenade it!

Contrary to statements; it was not a racing chopper rather a beefy 5 blade 26p ET cut prop. Not set high, it actually runs below the pad.

I think there was beer involved when this vid was shot.

[anelkcityrodder]

@MirageOffshore you're right , that five blade is not a surface piercing prop, cool vid eveyrone else can eat shit!

[roadhawg84]

thats a hell of a rooster tail

[chuckeieio]

Trim dude! Trim!!!

[savageguy25]

its a surface set up like a race boat....only uses half the prop

[SoinoSkater]

he got trimplans, which make the boat plan, the boat will go slower though.

[funkycow911]

theres a noat like this on my lake. it has a motor like that but the boat is 21 feet. oh boy those things r LOUD.

[defleppard10294]

yeah u fucktard its a racing chopper prop designed to be half outta the water

[gityermudon]

Its called half proping and its just fine with those merc's cause they have low water pick up holes down by the prop shaft for when you have just half the prop in the water

[Etrician55]

lol id love to tow my friend behind a boat liek this some day on a water tube and hit a turn at like 70 mph and send his fat ass cascading through the water but first while i was towing him id lift the motor up a lil bit and give him a rooster tail shower hahaha so he couldnt see when his ass goes skipping across the water

[Thefallenraptor]

you would kill him that way...

doing that at 25 mph is dangerous water beyond 35 mph is like hitting a concrete after falling from 3rd floor

[tomphilbedge]

@Thefallenraptor Ive hit the water and doughnutted at 55mph, and im fine ;)

[Thefallenraptor]

then you're really lucky dude :)

one guy showed off dancing while speeding of a sister speedboat of mine and fell. broke 3 ribs and got beat up like shit at 20-25

and there was an article in papers or something some tourist died while some newbie drove a 500hp bayliner pulling him on skis on full speed at speeds i accounted as lethal to hit the water .

[coronermetl]

ior it could just be because it has a chopper prop retard

[vx1000sk8er]

my freinds got a 200 that he modded to a 200x on his super boat

[flyrock45]

Nice rooster!

[lemondrenoman]

how fast were u goin

[HAROFREEK]

25 MPH

[mxzsled]

thats fake ruster , real ones have a curve to the way the prop spins wich is cool wich yours is not/....

[greensidenavy18]

it is curved... clockwise, just like the revolution of the prop. Just because the tail isnt leaning at a 30 degree angle you really think someone took the time to edit a video for youtube? smart comment, dipshit

[robcunny]

yeah it is, but its also the huge power in the engine

[valiumwaltz]

Is trimming the engine what makes that rooster tail so high ??

[insanelewis21]

it also depends on how high the engine is placed on the back of the boat also! if its on as low as it will go not matter how much trim you wont get a rooster.

i had a phantom 21 with a 2.5 efi and a 23 with a 225pro all sitting nice and high....so nice and big roosters! :P

[Dcamp200]

Yes. That is Beesley's Point in the backround. We are running back up the river.

[AceLockCo]

Nice, is that Beasley's Point Power Plant I see in the background? I take my boat out there sometimes. I also have a Merc, but it is a little 90hp 3 cyl.

[rach83500]

I AM CRAZY ABOUT MERCURY

[MeTube11Elevin]

dude learn how to drive a boat!

[redneckfromtexas]

I'm going to guess that you probably don't even have a boat.

[countytroubadour]

rooster tail equals lost power.

[kellectrik]

How big a rooster you talkin? My boat at max speed (GPS) at 5700 has about a 8 foot tall rooster.....with that 300 if he trimmed in in to get the "rooster" down I bet he'd lose speed cause the nose would be buried.

[RB30BMW]

why the big rooost, trim the nose down fool!

[camster8888]

because its sooooooo sweet

[asuperv27]

trimmin the nose down would make more drag, why not the big roost? if you watch dragboats they have a 200 foot roost behind them, seems like their hallin ass at 200+

[snowboarding4life0]

@RB30BMW alot of certain kinds of boats do that, Hyrdostream, checkmate, river rat, all those types of boats do that. its just how the boat is made.it doesnt matter if he trims all the way up or down hes still going to have a rooster tail.

[clueworm82]

ya i know this. When i was a kid my dad was a mechanic at a marina and bayliners with force motors were all i ever saw sitting waiting to be fixed. The whole time the mercs were out there runnin

[lemondrenoman]

yea ok force and bayliner are peices of shit

[MegaFootball76]

@lemondrenoman you dont know shit. force and bayliner i some of the nicest things on the water you stupid mother fucker

[rangerbass519]

@MegaFootball76 Dude are you kidding me?? Force and bayliner were some of the nicest mistakes on the water!

[keelsfamily]

@rangerbass519 You right Force is a crap crysler

[rsvectorer]

There shit nothing good

[anelkcityrodder]

@lemondrenoman you are right ! straight shit!!

[BigAgitator]

@lemondrenoman Yeah, lmao!!

[clueworm82]

force and bayliner all the way baby!

[casepker]

lOl the worst boat and motor ever made.

[TastyColoda134]

Mercury Racing, on a moded Crownline 34 ft. THATS power!!!

[swarne8]

lol bayliner and force ARE the worst boats made lol

[AceLockCo]

Not really. They have a bad name that they can not seem to get over. Now we know Force is no longer made, but the Bayliners made today are a quality boat. Of course their prices now reflect that, the prices have gone up a huge amount for Bayliner.

[Skipper72Productions]

ya he is

[lemondrenoman]

ur going to blow your engine

[HAROFREEK]

No he's not!!

[stanliterman24]

your right he's not

[hrspwrprofiles]

Nice video!

Horsepower Profiles. Com

[vikingboy90]

I love the sound of mercury engines. Every time i hear the sound off it i whatch out the window, and put out the sound of every thing else. Im not living to close to the sea either:p me want<3

[Dcamp200]

CRD, keep dreaming and maybe one day you too can have a 300X.

[CRDLIBERTY]

my 75hp force is way quieter yo, runs way better at 20mph

[Dcamp200]

Craprap,

The 300X is a good bit louder then the 225X. The above water exhaust is more open.

[reherhgntrntr]

I have a friend who haves a tohatsu:PThe parts are very expensivexDhaha.The merc haves the rekord.they drived on a lake 24 hour.they drived around the world in that lake.Mercury is the best so fuck the rest;D

[Dcamp200]

Outboardman. I agree with you the Pro Maxes are great. Just bought a pair of 2005 (last year for them) 225 Pro Maxes for my boat.

[craprapx2001]

Is a 300x significantly louder than a 225x?

[Dcamp200]

annoying - you sound like a genius. The name fits.

[outboardman1977]

sorry to see the pro-max series go. It was the best thing they had. Optimax not so good.

[annoyingadvertiser]

screw merc and go tohatsu they is cheaper and they make merc and nissan motors give them some credit

[Robertd63]

Tohatsu? I have one and its a pile of shit.. Look at my videos.

[indamud2006]

annoyingadvertiser you can't even spell don't you know mercury is # 1 on the water you all are just mad because you don't have a mercury there is always somebody to talk bad about mercury. and it's either because they lost a race to one or can't keep up with the mercury!!!! anyways got to go my mercury is waiting on me

[thepestkid]

Keep this report so you can remember how it was.

Mercury is now building engines in China, a Communist country!

Mercury will soon go under just like OMC!

[bsboats]

Mercury Marine temporarily shutdown all manufacturing operations in Fond du Lac, Wis., to better manage its inventory supply line.

The engine maker gave nearly 2,000 hourly workers a week off, without pay.

bY bY MERCURY....BEAN COUNTERS DO IT AGAIN !!

[150aintenuff]

against the limmiter starting at 6800.....

[brettevansville]

better than sex...ya that right

[thewhox56]

dude are you in ocean city,NJ it looks alot like the smoke stack there.

[highvelocity123]

Offshore trim is one big f-n ram, so you can trim til the boat slows down or the prop is of the water. That's an Apache 22, very tough boat, and heavy,,goes about 76 with a good driver like myself LOL

[swimstud5151]

Damn!

[commo96]

trailer trim

[Dcamp200]

The motor was not crabbing. The river we are running has gradual turns. Your actually seeing the motor turned slightly as we are making our way around a bend. The driver definately had it over trimmed. He was messing aroung trying to see what kind of rooster he could throw.

[150aintenuff]

torque tab....... crabbin bad thus blowin her out..

[TURNITUP350]

wat speeds is it doin? wat boats it on?

[Dcamp200]

The boat is a 22' Apache. It's running 76 mph.

[TheDuke71]

To much trim, your blowing her out.

[adangelo72594]

agreed hes trying to hard to get a rooster tail

[gulf92]

holy shit

[gulf92]

whats the RPM on that thing??

[Dcamp200]

It will rev to 6800.
