Z18 speeds?

[KY Grant]

In the beginning stages of looking at getting a new z18 by the start of next year and trying to figure out which motor to get on it. I currently have a 2014 pro team 175 with the regular 60 4 stroke and have had zero issues with it and assume the regular 150 would be about the same. Trying to see what speeds are getting with the regular 4 stroke and the new 150 pro xs 4 stroke. I assume the new pro xs might get a couple mph more but ain’t heard much between both motors and just seeing if there’s a significant thing that says to go with pro xs if I get the option. Thanks

2019 z18 with 150 fs proxs and I can get right around 61 gps with just me and a half tank of gas. That is with a 23p fury and no jack plate.

Get the ProXS. I bet most people that don’t probably wish they had. Also, get a jack plate even if it is just manual. No sense buying a hire performance boat with out taking this small step that allows you to get the most out of it.

Get all the motor that you can afford. Get the 175 if you can, but if not definitely get the 150 proxs. Will help with resale.
