    fyi, a stroker setup for top numbers will run 100+ with a 250xs. sounds like a 250 is all you may want

    Your probably right the only thing keeps me frombuying the motor first is not really sure how hard it will be to find just a hull think either way I'm Gona go with the efi motor don't want to have to worry about the pro xs compressor going and taking power head with it if I was buying the motor new and had a warrenty I would go with the xs

    Find your self a low hour 225 EFI motor ( 2001 -2005 ) with the down draft intake and one box Motorola computer ECM .
    Most are putting out of 250 Hp .

    I would be finding a hull first then a motor.Because the hull you want is going to be harder than a motor theres really not that many out there...motors are always poping up!! if you find you the hull you want you could always throw a 225 pm on it then upgrade when a X comes up or something else.

    This is true. I just sold my 2004 250XS last summer and bought a new 300XS. Wish I had the 300 sooner. Unless you fish tournaments with a 250 HP restriction, go with the 300XS. (My 300XS also burns less gas than my 250XS did.)

    I don't know. I'm 64, and if I ever get there, I'll let you know. Still like being up front on tourneys.
