I think you are right about it not being the XS, just the cowl is the XS. For a 03 250 XS I gave $6k, a little over twice the asking price and it was a 450 hour running motor that needed nothing. If the lower misc. parts and pieces and the midsection were in great shape $2500 would be about right for all if not a little high. Then again a new Merc lower is downright Pricey if purchased new from a dealer. The fuel mileage on a Optimax is unrivaled.
