Some bees had those jack plates on them, i dont know much about them. What kind of lower is it a sporty? 2100 bee is a good riding one for sure and with that XB upper 70'slow 80 mph boat set up right.

No its a 250 pro xb...its a limited edition its similar to a 250 efi but with racing mods but not as many as a full merc racing engine/

I had the same model 2100 SuperVee, same hull. Great boat. But look very closely at the transom and knee braces. I to completely re-work the transom, knee braces, stringers and floor. The wood wasn't sealed correctly. It wasn't sealed at all on the top of the knee braces. It was a great boat after the re-work. All composites didn't start with the Bee's tiles a couple of years later. To your question I can't answer, mine had a factory 12" manual plate, still have it out back.

The XB is a very strong motor and very reliable if maintained but they are very thirsty motors too LOL
