    Ok Not to beat a dead horse swim ladders. :]

    Ive been trying to finals a ladder like that but one that doesn't bolt to the motor, it needs to go to the jack plate. My mid has a non standard bolt pattern and my steering hoses are in the way for any I've found so far

    260 vs 280 xb03

    so I've got a 97 xb03 and I was planning on putting a 2.5 280 bass on it but now it doesn't look like I can buy that motor anymore, I can however get a late 90's 2.5 260 on an offshore mid with less than 50 hours on it with a new polished sport master and an alternator kit for $8000cdn. So my...

    Xb03 175 faststrike questions

    Ok that's good to know, I have plans to fix some gelcoat chips on the bottom this winter, hopefully, along with a new motor and I was planning on keeping that gearcase. How much faster would I expect to see with a nose cone and how do they affect handling. Also I noticed the back two inches of...

    Xb03 175 faststrike questions

    So I bought a 1997 xb03 with a 98my 175 faststrike at the beginning of this summer and have been trying to get it figured out, when I bought it it had the stock gearcase and I changed it out to a lightning case(l1) off a 225ho ficht I believe and that made it handle somewhat better, I also...
