    Motor for a '00 2200

    It looks like I will be needing to buy a new motor for my 2000 2200 since my XB is toast. If I don't or can't rebuild it what would you guys put on it. I'm leaning toward a 250xs. I want fast, but I really want reliable.

    Pro Xs, warranty is why.Xs would only give you maybe 2-3mph with 3 years lesss warranty.

    Not sure on the hours on the XB. It was an injector leaning out that caused it. I ran it for far too long trying to figiure it out and it actually blew when I took it in to be figured out. So now I have an XB with a broken rod on #6 for sale....I went with a 250 pro XS. It made most sense to me for a number of reasons but mostly reliability and fuel/oil economy. Thanks for all the help guys.
