Hello , i now own the 300XS Sake had on his 27ft Revenger , i must say she performs perfect although i havend make a lot of hours (i got her with 23/25hours and she now had 50hours) i have been to Terschilling last weekend on a bit to small boat for the type of wether , bf5/6 but she performed great .
Also fuel economical she is a wonder , i havend seen more than 25L/hour average , but when i pus her to WOT she takes round 92L/hour .

Btw trough dealers in the Netherlands and Belgium you can order a 300XS , price ........... dont know go mine for free hahahaha .

Seaquel, thanks for this information I will contact some NL dealers and compare prices with the US where they are about $15,000 ex tax and shipping. Your 6m boat must go like a rocket with this engine! Gavin

Yes that would be interesting - in the UK the price is £15,000 and NO warrenty!!! I was told that's because its a racing engine but in the USA they still get 2 years............

Impressive looking boat.


Did you do any of the rigging yourself? I have a particular interest in the Livorsi controls you have, how do you find they compare with the standard 'one lever does all type normally fitted to single outboards.


I'm hoping because of the difference in age engine/hull that you fitted it yourself.
I intend changing to these controls and I'm hoping someone with ten thumbs can do it .

Any info or help would be appreciated.
