Is your xri a 175?

Depends on horse power and lower unit.
This^^^^ need more info. This boat wouldn't happen to be red would it?

yes it is red and white.95 200 XRI
With a sportmaster lower, at proper height, appropriate prop, I think you should be able to get high 70's perhaps 80 depending on load and driving skills.
driving skills are not there yet.i had a 19 foot bullet before i got my 295 pro stratos.it had a modded 200 mercury on it and i couldn't handle it.but time will tell on this one.i am looking for a 12 inch JP to put on it.it has a 6 inch on it now.he has a lower with a low water pick-up on it that i am going to try and get for it.
Marty92xrd on here had one of those era light boats and he could run 82 with an xri200 and a regular lower unit with some intakes plugged. He ran a bone stock chopper possibly sans line cutters. Call him at rothwell marine and see what he can do to set you up

I had a 94 200 xri. Pretty stout motors. I would think you could hit 80 and with work a few more.
2005 21XD W/ 2005 MERC 250XS BULLET TOTAL PERFORMANCE BOAT!!
The trick is that 94 model boat. Lighter than the newer ones so itll run fine with that motor on there.

thanks guys i got it home today and when the monsoons are over i will get started on swapping every thing over.
That XRI is a beast. Before I went Bullet for life I had a 20’ SX Skeeter with an xri on it that would roll 71-72 loaded, and 74-75 solo. It was a “Sleeper” for sure. That rig will run upper 70s for sure, likely low 80s solo. No need for a Sporty, but your gonna want some bow lift with that combo
I hope Paul will comment. I respectfully disagree on the lower unit. On that light of a boat, if you don't get the prop close to the surface it is not going to handle well. Also getting the lower to run shallower will greatly decrease drag. A coned lower is better than nothing. JMO.

The best I ran mine was 83 with a 28 Bullet Cut. 92XRD with a stock 92 200XRi. 1.75 below the pad with a 10" Rapid Jack, top 3 holes plugged on lower unit. It would fish at 80 all day with a stock 26 Chopper turning 62-6300. Another guy had a 20DC with a 200 Pro Max with a Sportmaster and he could not touch me. He was a good 3-5mph slower. A STOCK 200 doesnt need a Sporty. My old boat now has a 200 Pro Max on it and it will not run like it did with that XRi.
well guys motor is swapped over,now the fun begins.put the 25 tempest + on for the first time out.71 at 5400 rpms is all i could do.granted i am not a performance boat driver at all.i will get better with more seat time.(i hope)it has 11 inch man. JP and it is all the way down.i tried a 26 chopper and it was worst.65 is all i could get out of it.with the tempest i had 15 pounds of water pressure.
loaded to fish in a 20xdc, with a 200 promax with raised limiter with the woman in the boat and a limit of white bass in the livewell for supper , sport master lower unit 12” back, with a power pole I ran 84.
1.5” above pad.
The 200 promax power head wasn’t on there long before I put the 225 back on the mid.
It had more in it.
There is very little difference between an xri and a promax 200, Like ecu solid mounts , divider plate and cowl.
I would expect a well set up could do the same.
well guys i raised it too high and it popped.paul has it now rebuilding it.to be continued.
Well that sucks. How high where you running it? What psi? Paul will get you fixed up.

i was told water volume not water pressure got it.had 15 pounds of pressure.about even with the pad and no low water pick-up.
