xb03 speed with 200hp evinrude?

[pcrussell50]

what kind of speed can i expect out of an xb2003 powered by an evinrude ETEC, 2.5L 200hp?

Guessing about 80?

A gs (different hull, kinda) should run 92-3 w/ coned 200. light load

Not sure you can cone that etec lower and it live. I dont know for sure but, I have always here that it was the weak link on those outboards. Could be wrong. I am sure someone who knows more than me will be along shortly. 87 was the best I ever saw with my 200 merc and a sporty lower unit.

88.7mph on my XB2003 with 200 Promax and 28 ET.

Cat--
Is that light load or set up for fishing? Trolling motor? I owned 2 gs's and now have a xbo3--they ran similar w/ 225 pm.
