My dad is running a 175 ficht motor on his xb2003....he loves it. It does great on gas, has awesome take off and is really smooth. He runs a 29pitch four blade prop and runs in the 70's when its all out, but you could ski behind it with that prop. we have a lot of motors to choose from, from...
ya i thought i had seen some pics in the past which is where i got the idea, but didnt pay much attention cause i wasn't married then :rolling eyes. I have my stereo in the glove box but i thought if i did the dual console that would be a good place to put it. I saw the 21 ft bass boat has dual...
has anyone put two sport consoles on an xb2002 for side by side seating? I have been thinking of converting mine to have two up front seats. Pics of side by side setup wound be great.
Also when converted how does the boat handle from center to side steering? I figure its gonna run on its side...

97' w. a stock bottom. Motors stock except i put boyseen reeds and a light weight flywheel. everything else is stock...
ive been running a stock carb 150 2.5 merc on mine for about 5-6 yrs now. I think this is as good all around setup you could get(depending what your main goal is). I run 89 octane(could run 87) and turn a 29 srx 7200rpms. I have run 94.1mph gps w. it but it will run 90-93mph everytime i take it...
its a standard comp hull (livewell,carpet not the tournament model tho). ive only fished out of it 3 times so there wasn't a trolling motor and only one battery. the boat weighs 1620 w. me ready to race. obviouly in full fishing form its gonna be slower. I was just sharing what a 150 could run...

i'm running 94mph w/ a stock carbed 150. only difference would be the rev limiter but if u get rid of that or just run a big prop its easily done.
also the srx props seem to have more torque in the wheel and make the boat handle a little worse from my experience even more than a chopper. you could try a 4 blade or i hear a merc et prop in a good handling prop. May make the learning process easier
first i would make sure you have a bobs cone if you are gonna run the motor close to level. We ran An omc and it would blow out at 90mph everytime. Sent it to bobs and it never happened again. when the motor is trimmed all the way in it is common for the boat to roll one way or another(usually...
i have an early 90's 2.5 150...box stock run it on 89 octane and have gps it at 94.1 it runs 91 or 92 any day of the week w/ a 29 pitch turns around 7200-7400 rpm's. 10" setback even w/ the pad...makes a great setup
