Merc Racing Opti 200 XS?

**feelgood** · 05-26-2006, 07:56 PM

Is it the old 2.5 block? Does it have the heavy duty swivel and trim? How much does it weigh? How does it run - like a 225? I can't find any specs on the Merc web page. I need it to replace a 260 EFI on Allison XB2002.

Set one up on a 20Xd Bullet,it was A suprize to say the least, Got 78.9 Gps loaded to fish.Thats with two guy's over 200,Tanks gas. They are strong, and get ex fuel mileage.Don't think you'll be sorry.

I have one on a 2003 Allison. You will be suprised!! I can run 83 to 84 With two people and a tank of gas. I have ran 86 to 87 with just me.
Some have broken the 90's on a 2003. You should be able to get to the 90's pretty easy on a 2002.

I used to have a 15" 200xs on a LIGHTNING Mirage copy and it ran awesome to be a 200 top was 91mph gps with a 29srx running on the limiter.

allong with the above you'll find several test reports at bass n walleye mag on allison boats. i have found it to be the healthest 200 i've had [all on the same HS voyager]. the best benifit is the fuel economy. i have the full smartcraft guage set with a gps and have gotten 7.4+ mpg at over 50mph. my top speed is currently 74 but that against the limiter. im sure it got 80 in the boat[ with the SM LU}. so far it the best 200 i had

How much do those 200xs go for?

**hsbob** · 06-06-2006, 08:57 AM

my 2004 was 14500, saw a 2.5 xs at jasco 11500. ggo dluck.

thanks hsbob,
I have a 18' Rapidcraft Hurricane with a 88 175 merc. I wonder how much of a performance gain I would realize going to a 200 xs? The sportmaster gear case and better fuel useage would be welcome improvements. The hurricane has a v-bottom without a pad and while its a great all around boat I think that fact is what keeps it from being a stellar top end performer. Im going to radar it this weekend and see where its at now with LW, jackplate, and 25 Spinelli chopper

you'll be adding 30-40 more hp. dont really know what the 200xs really is. its has more torque than a efi 200 and definetly more top speed. my son and i have identical boat with different motros [200efi and 200xs] so the comparision can be really seen. i do know he used twice the fuel than i do.

awesome motors... if I didnt find what I have new, I would be rockin one. sure would have been better on gas

**espen** · 06-08-2006, 10:47 AM

Hi ! I read here on s@f that 200xs did perform as or better than a 225 promax. If it did sound like a 260 I would buy one ;-)

**WATERWINGS** · 06-08-2006, 10:55 AM

Whats the diff. between the 200 and the 250, weight? max RPM's?

.....also, whats the diff. between a bass boat, and a walleye boat?

The look the same to me??

**hsbob** · 06-09-2006, 11:26 AM

bass boat are close to what most of us use at S&F rigged for fishing.

walleye boat are closer to normal runabouts but rigged for fishing, front seat, trolling motor....

**pengilly** · 06-10-2006, 06:22 AM
