Author Topic:   The Perfect 300 horse whaler tender

PSW posted 07-13-2003 10:20 PM ET (US)
While enjoying my 4th of July in Roche Harbor I saw the nicest whaler tender that I have ever seen. The proud owner was a Canadian Gentleman who had Sea Ray 57 or something like that. The tender was a new 21 Outrage with none other than the 300 Merc. It looked rather impressive and even idled niceley as he putted around the harbor with his glass of wine. I have some pictures of this fine set up and many of the other whalers that I saw that weekend. I must have seen 20+ whalers that weekend. Many had custom touches that helped set them apart from the rest. Unfortunately I did not have my whaler to show off, the Pursuit has much better sleeping accomodations for the girlfriend and I.
I will try to get the pictures off the digital camera, but whenever I try to send more than one it does not go through. Any tips on how to do this for more than 3 pictures would be great. I have lots of good pictures for the site.

You'd have to make a link out of them, then post the link to us all to see.
If you want to get the pictures published you have to email them to jimh, then he MAY publish them if he wants.
21-Outrage must fly with a Mercury 300hp, WOW.

I have the same problem trying to send multiple attachments. I have found that if I put them together into a photo album there is no problem sending the album. It does go out as an EXE file though and some systems won't accept it.

The forum does not permit inline images.

Right at this moment I am way behind in production of CETACEA articles, so sending them to me is only for the very patient.

Is that engine a true 300 hp or is it the 250 racing model thats putting out 280 ?
I ran a 36' Skater with 4 - 280s on it, very, very impressive.

Sal it is the same 300 Merc that I used to see on Lake Havasu on the speed boats. I read in a boating magazine they are like 26k msrp. They have the different graphics on them.
As far as pictures go I think I am going to get a web page and I will just load it with pictures and post the link on our forum.

PSW- I swung through there on the fourth. Missed the 300 Merc. Lots to see, what a celebration!

Sal - the 300 Merc EFI (the so called Darth Vader engine) is built on the 3.0 liter 225 EFI/Optimax block, and is available from Mercury Racing division. The lower unit is painted silver instead of black, and it comes in 25" shaft length, requiring 91 octane gas, I believe. I see it as a kind of high performance pleasure boat engine, somewhat tame by full fledged racing engine standards. Very distinctive in appearance (hence the Darth Vader reference).
I see quite of few of them on go-fasts around SE Florida waters.
Another very interesting new Mercury is the 250 Optimax XS, which Whaler is now using on the 320 Outrage, as is Sea Craft on their 32. I hear is quite fuel efficient, highly dependable and very fast, faster than then the 250 EFI. It's also from the racing/hi-performance division.
