Wtb 200 apex

My son will have one on his STV shortly (175 ProXS).

Nice! Can't wait to see it.

I suppose I just don't understand the appeal of this unavailable V6 configuration with the mysterious horsepower rating. A 300R only should be around 40-50lbs heavier and you can actually buy one. Or I think there is or was a 250R V8 if there is some requirement to have less horsepower.

Some boats like the 20’ Allison’s, work better with lighter motors. The V8 Mercs are too big. A new 200 Yamaha weighs 505 lb dry and lists for $25K Cdn. It makes my 200XS ROS look light and affordable.

Is there a market for a smaller 18-20’ performance boat with a 200? That’s the sweet spot for me.

The 175 ProXS is the least amount of weight and will accept a 300R sportmaster (which I have already). This will be the next step up for him to play with and progress. I believe there will be future parts for the 3.4L that will make it run really well.

I understand the need for lightweight, at least for hulls like my race layup XR2002. An outboard that weighs more than the hull isn't very appealing. To me anyway. But we can keep hoping.
