Lotus 50 I've got a 200xs ss with "several" hours on it and won't trade it for all the whiskey in Ireland!

Garmin 168GPS/ sounder; internal antenna. Still have box and all accessories. Make an offer. sbernhardt@blomand.net

hey jimmyb I believe my problem is a missing gasket. Do you happen to know part# of what I need; thanks.

Re-installed L/U after some repair work on skeg and new impellor. But barely any water pressure; just 2-3 pounds when on plane. Only thing I can figure is I'm missing some kind of seal at top of water tube. Is there a o-ring or gasket that should be there; anybody? Thanks!

I've managed to put a few dings on sportsmaster skeg and have friend who is very good welding aluminum. His only concern is whether welding can be done with gears still in case; or will heat cause seals to melt. My opinion is there shouldn't be a problem. Also; how tight do you re-torque l-u bolts?

Guys, thanks for all good responses to questions! I never would have thought to look under livewell. Probably once you hit 60-65mph that part of pad is too far out of water for transducer; and just start getting surface clutter.

Where's the best spot on a xb for shooting thru the hull? Other side of center rib opposite pump? Does spot have to be sanded smooth first? Or is there a tray under gas tank?

Harvey, are you able to maintain good sonar contact with bottom while on plane? With my Garmin 168 mounted off transom; 25-30 mph was about it and still get good reading

I guess thru-the-hull is the best solution except you get no surface temp reading which does come in handy. Considering just taking off speedo-pickup since it never stays popped down anyway; and mounting in that area since its a little larger. That is what makes me think there is small space...

Just got a new Lowrance with dual frequency transducer; where is best place on transom to mount bracket? With my other GPS unit(Garmin), bracket was alot smaller and no problem to mount opposite side of speedo pick-up. Is there a space between gas-tank and hull for short screws if I go higher...

With 2003/200xs/26 trophy combo your looking at mid to high 80s on speed;decent holeshot and pretty good gas mileage. A boat that does everything well or at least better than average.

Hey xb03; are/were you running a modified chopper. I'm trying to get more top-end out of mine. Even with pad have only hit 85.5 with 200xs SS. Jacking any higher and feels like bow is dropping; but maybe it's just me.

Hey JOEALLY Big negative on the quad 4 but would love to try one. Are you going to be at the rally this year? I've never been but looks like it would be a blast! As of now I'm scheduled to work that weekend but am trying to re-arrange things. Maybe someone will bring one along for us to try.

Yo Chad I waz out on the Hill today(Center Hill Lake,TN)scarin all the ducks and jon boats in my '03. Just got my 28 chopper back from Soddy Daisy and running even with pad seemed about right. 200xs SS with 14.5 jack-plate.

28 chopper Chopper has allison cut from performance in soddy-daisy. But top-end virtually same as trophy and hitting rev-limiter. Billy has added cup but not there yet. He says I should see 88+ with this prop and I agree! These little 200xs are awsome! B&WB mag estimates hp at more like 230...

Anybody running a ss 200xs on a 2003xb and what kind of top-end have you seen? With a 26 trophy 84.3 is tops. Kevin, like the new board!
