    As you indicated, Jacos Marine has online pricing..... I hesitate to post their website lnk as I do not know if they are a BBC sponsor.
    Most all bass boats take the 20".
    I opted to keep my existing mechanical controls and purchased the engine with conventional mid section (CMS). The controls still operate the DTS.

    That's exactly why I didn't do anything but note that Jaco's had pricing up.

    You can have any color you want in the Pro XS as long as it's black. No color options for those models.

    Propping update:
    25P is way to much for this engine on a 20'+ Ranger. (my Z21 Intracoastal) The V8 runs up to 6200 rpms. My target is 6150 and I'm getting close to completing the 10 hours of break in. The 24 3 blade Fury runs 5950 at 71 mph. The 23 3 blade Fury on now I'm still playing with. All PVS holes open give an adequate hole shot (without the use of my trim tabs) and it's hitting 6000 at 70 mph but I do need more time at WOT and seat time as my jackplate and trim settings are totally different from the previous Opti 250. I'll get that after break-in. Not to mention the operational characteristics of the Fury vs my Tempest+ 25P props I was running before are also much different as is the lower unit design. This is NOT a plug and play repower guys!!! It's going to take some time to tweek everything all over again. The folks that get these V8's on a new rig are not going to have an established operating format so it will be much easier on them.
