Ya, you can't go wrong with either. Great engines overall, smooth quiet, decent low end torque. A breeze to maintain. The pricing is really good too. The Pro has stiffer upper mounts, but not solid, so no worries there. You save around $400 on the reguler and the gearcase / ratio is different. Either will be fine on a toon.

I never understood why Merc has a 175XS and then with the V6 has a 200 and a 225. Why not have those also offered as XS or are they way different?

They already have the motor in stock but the boat had to be ordered so I ordered it exactly like I wanted.

Ya, I'm not sure why they went to the V8 for the 200 and 225 XS. I'd rather have the V6.

I think you will be happy with the motor. Everything I've heard about that motor is good including the price.

Not sure if salt would affect the pontoons or not. Originally Posted by noli
