    Pulsare top speeds

    The 300X is louder then other consumer outboards but not offensive although that is a biased and subjective opinion. I have had people say that they can hear the motor a mile or two away when running at speed but no one has complained; some people have even indicated that it is a nice...

    Pulsare top speeds

    2005 Pulsare 2100BR with 2005 Promax 300X, 12" setback, 25" cupped Tempest Plus prop, so far 91 MPH GPS. Given more seat experience and changing back to the 27” cupped Tempest I believe this setup will break 100 MPH Pulsare 2100BR with Mercury Promax 300X
