I had a chance to ride in my brother's Skeeter ZX200 with a SHO 200 this past weekend. All I can say is wow! I'm no expert and everything on the boat and motor is stock. We never got it to WOT but did come close. What impressed me the most was how you could be doing say 40 and with just a little throttle it would just seem to jump and be doing 50 very quickly. I couldn't believe the power it seems to have between 4000 and 5000 rpm. And so quiet you can talk while doing 50 yet it seems to have a very cool sound almost like an inboard moter. If you get a chance to see how these motors perform do it you will be impressed! Also, a plug for the new Skeeter. We were on Lake Barkley with a lot of boat traffic and the Skeeter was a very smooth and dry ride as well. I just hope Yamaha comes out with a 150 model so when I'm ready to upgrade to a new boat I will have a chance to get one of these motors.
