That sounds awesome. I'm about to purchase a new Bass Cat. And have been looking hard at all the boards and reveiws.
how much more money is a G2? On like a 250?

The G2 250 HO is about 2200.00 more with 8 years warranty compared to a Mercury 250 Pro CS with 3 years warranty. Don't know about BC prices.
I am guessing also Sir that the G2 is the DPS version with power steering and fly by wire, whereas the Prox XS is not unless you want to fork out for expensive aftermarket components?
Mine is the HO model, the DPS version would be nice to have on a Triton or any boat that chime walks but you don't need it on.a Ranger or at least I don't.Originally Posted by Huey
Hey I dint get a hat or t shirt either!!!
Me either Jimbo
Me 3!!! But, I'm happy with my motor regardless!
Same here
Yup I love it.. mine should finally be off double oil and I got my interior done and put back in.. time to air it out. I am hoping for 80+..I may have to put in the DPS I don't seem to be as good a driver as I used to be... damn thing gets real squirrley at about 76"
I am looking at putting a 300HP G2 on either a BCB Lynx or Jaguar. I know it would make the Lynx a rocket and the Jaguar I would guess mid 70's as a 350 Verado with 3 people at the bass masters this year we hit 81 in a Jag.
My question is do I go electric or hydraulic steering?
Not real familiar with the BC but if they chime walk the DPS would be handy to have. Personally I don't need it, I don't have a problem driving any high performance boat, had a STV at one time running 114 in a quarter mile.
I personally would go the DPS unit and I know down here and pretty sure up there the only 300HP G2 with IHS is the C/R model. The L/S and the X/L 300HP use DPS and I would think the Jag would be a 25 inch transom, so just fit the DPS version. I think your speed assumptions would be pretty accurate based on the 350HP Vrod numbers.
May I add it's not but about 600.00 or more so why not just go for it.
Can DPS added on a non DPS GII?
Don't think so Jimbo
What HP are you talking about? If the Big block and the engine is an IHS unit one could but I would hate to think of the cost due to needing all the components related to a DPS outboard-it would be cheaper to swap out the whole engine I would think-trust me the mark-up in parts from them all is hefty-years ago I did the exercise of pricing up buying everything as a spare part needed to build the complete outboard and it was ALOT more than the complete engine assembled in the factory. If you are talking about the small block G2 with the Trac+ mid-section-no not possible there.
Kind of like the million dollar Cadillac by Johnny Cash lol
Call me crazy but I don't think a 300 G2 will do much better, if any, than a 250 HO speed wise. I could be wrong. Also, I've got the DPS in mine. It steers so smooth it almost freaks me out. But you can adjust it on the gauges to reduce the assistance, thus making it feel more normal. But, after you get use to it, it's kinda nice!
Grrr.
Well I love my G2 but I'm not impressed with the DPS. I can't tell any difference between the different levels which puts it in the gimmick category for me. But everything else is pretty much bada$$... so I'm good!
