    200 on a 21

    What do y’all think of the demo for sale at Florida Family Marine. Would you experienced bullet guys be happy with a 200?

    thanks

    Would I be happy? No. A 300 will be the smallest hung on mine. Although I will say, with Bullet’s lightness, a 200 will move one better than you think.

    It is a SHO though. Would that change your opinion with the ease of being able to flash it?

    it seems like a very nice boat for $82k (I can’t believe I just said that!)

    I got a “200” sho that is flashed on my 21xrs. I’m sure the reason for that 200 is it’s a little cheaper and once it’s flashed it’ll be a 300.

    A SHO is a good motor and yes, flashing would definitely change the situation.

    It wasn't so long ago we ran 21's with 2.5 225 pro Max's or the 3L 225 , I would think a 200 sho would equal that before its even flashed. But better flashed.

    If i bought new today I'd order with a 200 sho to save a few grand and spend the 600 to flash it to 300 plus.

    I’m seriously considering selling my rig soon and going the yammy route on a new one.

    At my age, I think I could be happy with a 200 HP motor.

    I know... When I was younger, all I wanted to do was go fast when I could... Now I cruise at 40-50 ish most of the time. My partners always enjoy it. Most didn't care about going balls out.

    That’s the same here. I cruise sub 50 a lot too, but it’s hard not to bust it. I do like having when I want it.

    You wont regret it. Didn't think I could enjoy driving my bullets anymore than I did. Went with the sho and it's an even better feel.

    I'm 65 and replacing my 300xs with a 300R on my 21xd Comp. I will never not want that adrenaline rush. What's wrong with you guys.
