    Have to watch it or you will try to start it while it's running. Don't ask me how I know.

    My 150hp is also super quiet as well as the 60hp I used to own, as much as I like the sound of a rowdy outboard the quietness I feel has its advantages when fishing and communication with partner while running.

    Every time I ride in my buddy's Nitro with a Pro XS 250, all I can think is..."holy shit this thing sounds like a stock car".

    The V8s do sound good and the pro XS version has a louder exhaust than the standard 4-stroke version, was wondering if that applies to the 175hp v6 pro XS?

    Configuration is virtually identical, overall (two less cylinders, then model specific differences). Very similar sound.
