I have no idea who this chap is...But! He just rewrote this ad for his project 16 Action/200Merc & trailer. The ad now says $2,400.00 OBO. Says it has to go this week, with a title. Just a FYI.

This boat drove HydroStream crazy. I made the mistake of talking to the reps at a boat show in the 80's about it"s performance and they went ballistic!

Barney made several improvements to this design. Pretty much everything he did to this boat worked better. The Actions would almost always outrun the Hydrostreams. I have driven both makes several times and both were very easy to drive but the Actions were just faster. That boat even ran quite well with only an 850 G motor on it.

Absolutely gorgeous. I guess they were trying to fool somebody with those 1150 stickers since merc never made a shortshaft inline 115 after '72. I always thought the '75 J engine like the one in this picture and the '76 and later 1500XS were in a dead heat for best looking inline 6 ever. EDIT: I didn't realize this was John's boat. I guess I knew it and had forgotten. I don't think there's ever been a better lookin' combo than a blue Viper with a 1500J engine.

They were 140 powerheads, and the 140 was essentially a 150 powerhead BECAUSE Merc introduced the 150 V6 and didn't want the confusion of both in the product line in the same year, so they down rated the 150 inline to 140 with no other changes except stickers. The X racer either had a failing memory or a lack of experience with XS's. I had both powerheads, both the standard and the J (same as XS) and on a light fast boat the XS would out perform it on ANY course. The guys that were roundy round racing were pitching 'em down for acceleration and the standard powerhead was outta' breath long before the XS.
