Thanks to everyone for the reply.I'll try to answer everyones ?'s to my ?. I just put on a 200xs ( on my first tank of gas.... right now a lot vrrrrrrrrrrrrr, in about 4-5 hrs. , vroooooooooooooom!! :twisted: ) I know this motor isn't a pm, 260, or 280, but i hope it's respectable.On some short pulls it has good acceleration. Now I'm rambling, anyways Im getting more and more addicted to the speed ( nothing better than purring at 30 and stompin to 60,70,80,85,86,&so on. I never seem to fish/run with more than three, and I love the solo blasts. When I run solo , I gotta balance the rig for good topend handling. To pacman,thanks for the offer!
I will kick it around,depending on mydecision of keeping the rig. I know I'm not going to get the same perf. as I did wth my pm, but would I come close with my xs on a 2002? I guess what i'm sayin is I want the most rippin fishin rig I can get, and from the amount of 2002's and lack of xtb21's it seems that the 21 is not meant for the big #'s. rough water isn't a huge concern (big waves are a good time drink highlifes from the dock), not that mine is great for those either. Iknow there is a lot of setup potential in this boat, and I love winter projects(check the MN forecast in Jan.) but if I'm gonna put a lot of coin and time in this rig, I would like to be able to come close to the 2002's(maybe an unrealistic dream.) Oh well,I'll stop rambling. Hopefully this answered the ?'s to my ?'s and someone can help me spend my money, as if I need any help. :wink: Thanks again -John
