Just an update since all of this happened. My 200 ProMax completely stock with a sporty and the 27 Hoss seem to work well with a tournament load (the wife and me including a full cooler under front deck) have had a best of 88mph at 6750 and the usual 14" setback and at even with pad BUT just...

LOVE that OMC! ;)

That is a GREAT step by step edjumication.... :)

I have a brand new Hoss 27 that came with the boat, too much?

Made to the lake today with the 200, ran good! Holeshot very good ran 76 mph at 6200 at about 1/2" below the pad with a 26 trophy. Thinking with a little more time and maybe a bit higher to get her revvin a bit more should get me 82-83? The 225 at 6800 was at 85 gps same prop with two people...

Yep, I think your right time does "march on" and eventually we will have to move to the new hull. But, a new XB2002 with the "Sport" console setup and a new 175di motor with a sporty and solid mounts would be an awesome setup! (affordable,fast,fuel efficient) just thinkin..... :D Pro Stock Bass...

Isn't the GranSport the same hull different cap? Must have a EPA fuel tank?

I went to the Allison site today looking for some specs on my XB2003 and to my surprise it was not listed. The Grandsport is still on the list. Found what I needed in an old post. Wonder if they are done with them? :eek: http://www.allisonboats.com/content/

The story is I broke my SuperMag bad, rod through block at the case halves and crank sealing rings. I just brought home a cherry complete 200 ProMax powerhead with maybe 75 total hours. All I know about the differences in these motors is the 5 & 7 petal reeds and I assume ecu mapping not sure...

And I gots a Sporty.. :beer:

Yes I know the New 200XS would be the same thing, but a $17,000 limited build motor isn't really going to help with general performance boating. http://www.mercuryracing.com/outboards/engines/optimax-200xs-ros/

https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/us/engines/outboard/optimax-and-pro-xs/pro-xs-115-250-hp/#specifications This is a 2.5 DFI 431 pound engine, I think that with port timing,size,fuel injection, ECU reprogramming,sportmaster,etc. These engines should be able to produce a reliable 225-245...

Are there aftermarket rods available? Maybe I should ask what is the best rod available for a 2.5?

COOL! :beer:
