    If it is an ox66 its a 3.1 litre.I have a 99' 225.The max rpm is 6100-6150.It will run best propped at 58-5900rpms.

    Does it say HPDI or OX66 on the cowl. VX is the OX66 and I think VZ is the HPDI. I had a VX225TLRA... 2002 Vmax 225 OX66 3.1 Either motor hit rev limiter at 6125 or 6150 RPM. Like ken said, I had mine propped for 5.8-5.9K RPM

    Correct, VX is the OX66 in 2003 and VZ is the HPDI. Both say V Max on the cowling.
