    XB2003 Prosport Bow Eye

    Check with Allison, that stainless U bolt in the picture is what came from the factory on my 2000 XB2003.

    Odd stamping on Lightning ET

    I think the first ET props from Mercury were made by cutting down Choppers until the the true ET was in production. Your prop may be one of these.

    XB2003 with 300 Drag

    Way back there was a 2003 with a full enclosed canopy. I think it had been in a fire and a shop in Fla rebuilt it. As I recall Yellow Allison was involved in the project. Never heard any speeds but it was a wicked looking set up and should have been very fast. Believe it ended up in Ilinois...

    Xb2003 Allison jackplate removal

    Allison changed the upper transom bolts from 1/2" to 9/16" some time between my 1994 and my 2000. I had to enlarge the upper holes once on a jack plate swap. GAR

    FOREMOST INSURANCE.....AAA+

    I used progressive since 1997 on two Allisons, three PWC's and a pontoon and never filed a claim. Stuck with them because their disappearing deductible was down to zero but we are done now.

    FOREMOST INSURANCE.....AAA+

    Got a letter (on pink paper) from Progressive today stating that my XB2003/225X "can attain a maximum speed in excess of what is allowed in our boat program" and they will not continue my policy. Odd because they insured this boat for years with a 280 on it. I called my Farmers agent who has my...

    Who has the best price on a Mercury Racing 250xs?

    Mercury Racing 2017 price list for the 250XS is $20,853 msrp, $18,957 base and Platinum dealers get a 18% discount down to $15,544. Some will meet or beat Jaco. If any one would make an offer I can't refuse for my 04 225X I would have one on my XB2003.

    Promax prop

    I have owned several 4 Blade over/through props. Two Mazco HP4's , a couple of Hydromotive Q4-OT's and some Trophy's. The ProMax's were OK, just not the super performer advertised by Mercury.

    Promax prop

    I had a 26 and a 28 that I used for a while on my 2003/225X. Nice thick barrel and blades , so they should be durable but I didn't see any performance advantage over similar 4blade OT props.

    DI transducer in the tray?

    My 2000 XB2003 came new from Allison with the flasher puck stuck in the middle of the pan with a big glob of silicon sealer, not the epoxy I was expecting. Took several hours to clean that mess up and make room for two pucks.

    DI transducer in the tray?

    I put the transducer for a HB 788 DI in the pan a couple of years ago. Seems to work OK, but I don't know if the signal is as good shooting through the hull.

    Pro Max prop

    I'm running a 26 ProMax on my XB2003, better all around performance than my 26 Trophy but less top end than my 27. Should have bought a 28. I would sell or trade it for one of those. GAR

    28 T4X

    . Warranty was the wrong word. Todd said once it was modified the return for credit policy was out. I had both a Allison foil and a skid plate under the Jack plate but the prop was just slow to hook up. This was about 15 years ago but I remember talking...

    28 T4X

    I ordered a 28 T4X for my 2003/280 based on the raves by B&WE. Terrible hole shot, had to feather and play with the throttle for 100 yards to get it to hook up. Todd said adding some cup might help but it would void the warranty so I used their return policy and sent it back. For that style prop...

    Xb2003 on bbc for sale

    I have been here since 92, first house on the south side, 1/2 mile east of the bridge. Hammond on one side of the bridge, Bentley on the other. Both Mercury high performance dealers and Bentley also sold Allisons. Hammond did well racing his Allison along with a couple of other local guys, used...

    Xb2003 on bbc for sale

    Glad to hear there's another Allison in the area. There used to be several running the Elk River arm but for the last few years mine is the only one still here. I use mine year round and will keep an eye out for you. Good luck with your new boat, GAR
