Does anyone know the actual prop shaft hp of the old opti and a newer pro xs
Not back that far... earliest I have records on was 2003. That engine, and the last 200 ProXS Optimax were within 3hp of each other at the propshaft (essentially at the very top of the 10% allowance).

Thx. Good to know
You would need the serial number of the 2011-2012 200 “ProXS” to be sure but the first few years of the those were just standard Optimax motors with ProXS decals. IIRC, it was late 2012 when they became a true ProXS.
