17 TRX18 with ProXS 175

[BrianFLA]

I may have the opportunity to purchase a 2017 TRX18 , it has a 175 ProXS, any thoughts on this boat with a 175 vs 200. thanks!

Who cares what others think if it's a good deal and you want it get it. As far as 25hp goes you won't feel the difference... jmo.

If the price is right, doubt you'll notice the difference between a 175 and 200. Probably only a couple mph anyways..

I have a 2016 18 TRX with the 150 4 stroke and it's adequate. I would think the 175 would be just about right.

Personally, if you can afford to go to the 200, I would. Its better to have the 200, then buy the 175 and wish you had bought the 200. Plus we're bass fisherman, the faster the better!

Believe the 200 will be a 3 liter motor vs 2.5 for the 175. The 3 liter will give a lot better response on take off and give several more MPH on top.

Kinda depends on the deal, IMO. If I was going to spec that boat new it would be with a 200 SHO. But, if its an awesome deal I’d consider the 175.

Keep in mind its the same hull as the 189 which maxes out a 150HP so its not like you’d be underpowered with a 175.

I had an 189 TRX with a 150 FS. It was a good riding boat. With a 150 it would run about 56 to 57.

I had a 2012 18 se with a 175 with no jack plate . That boat ran great . Would do 60-62mph..
pits your choice .. and enjoy

You'll live to regret not getting a 200. That's a lot of boat for a 2.5L 175 motor to push.
