    Mercury 200 Opti vs 200 Pro XS

    I am getting a 200 on my Z7 and was wondering what the real difference is in the two motors. Both says 200 hp at prop. And second, is the 200L the Opti?

    They're actually very close. Primary difference in the ProXS model include carbon fiber reeds, air attenuator improved, Pro XS decals, and a slight calibration "tweak".

    Not a whole lot of difference at the prop. It was already there, as far as HP output is concerned.

    I've not heard of any plans to build a 25" version of the 200 ProXS. At current, I expect it will be available only in a 20" version.
