    The 2003 200 xs is a 2.5 liter motor I believe.good for an ali but you really want a 3.0 liter for our boats.Not saying there bad but ive not heard anything really fantastic about them either.

    I have an 03 intimidator with a 200xs tm lower unit great little motor easy on gas sounds meaner than heck turnin 6400 pushes the ol g boat at 74 - 75 all day long outruns cookie cutter boats with 225s whenever you want to wont be as fast as the 225 but will get better fuel economy.
